Arlen and Diane Chase, archaeologists at the University of Central Florida, believe their work at Caracol, in present-day Belize, also shows that escalating warfare was largely responsible for that ancient city's abrupt extinction. Among the evidence they cite: burn marks on buildings, the uncharacteristically unburied body of a six-year-old child lying on the floor of a pyramid, and an increase in war imagery on late monuments and pottery. "Of course we found weapons too," says Arlen...

...late night in September. David Letterman is on CBS, with the same bits he perfected (but maybe didn't patent) on his NBC show: running animals through stupid tricks and Calvert De Forest -- Larry "Bud" Melman to you -- through the humiliation gauntlet.

Right now the late-night game is in its dog days, or stupid-pet season. The play-offs begin Aug. 30, when Letterman debuts on CBS opposite Leno, with the wild-card teams headed by O'Brien and Chase joining the fray in September.

On Saturday, thunderstorms dropped an additional 5 in. of rain on central Iowa. A dangerous second crest could chase the big one down the Mississippi, and secondary rivers could burst their banks in areas so far spared. That happened last Thursday night in Fargo, North Dakota. The Red River, engorged by a daylong deluge, rose 4 ft. in six hours, rampaging into town and causing sewage to back...
