The identification of the archaebacteria's unique genetic structure suggests that there may be a third line of evolution. It also provides an important clue to the earth's early environment. Scientists have long believed that for about the first billion years after the formation of the earth, the atmosphere consisted largely of hydrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases, but virtually no free oxygen. The life-style and genetic structure of Woese...
Then how and when did free oxygen begin appearing in the atmosphere? A clue to the answer has been found in the incredibly old sedimentary rocks of South Africa's eastern Transvaal by Harvard's Elso Barghoorn and Andrew Knoll, now with the Oberlin College department of geology. To the naked eye, the 3.5 billion-year-old rocks Barghoorn and Knoll collected during a visit last year revealed no traces of early life. But the scientists soon uncovered the stones' secrets. Returning to Harvard with samples of the rock, the pair used a diamond cutter...

Vibrate!' with never a clue given as to how to do it") to the inspired and inspiring tutelage of his beloved Georges Enesco ("I know that everything I do carries his imprint...

The Los Angeles Times reported in August that Justice had decided to drop its prosecution of John Morley, a former high-level official in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) who directed the FBI's alleged mail-opening and wire-tapping campaign against the Weather Underground terrorist organization in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Bell has frequently second-guessed his department's decision last April to indict John J. Kearney, a Morley underling...
