...what seemed an unusually large (nearly 3 ft.) metacarpal bone. It belonged to a creature called Aepycamelus major, the giraffe camel. No less surprising were the remains of a large triple-horned ruminant, or cud-chewing animal, called Yumaceras; fossils of one of these beasts were first uncovered in Colorado in the 1930s. Says Webb: "The bones add a great deal to our knowledge of this animal, which was heavy-footed and not unlike a moose." The diggers also found so many bones of the original rhino that they were able to assemble a virtually complete skeleton. It now proudly...

...woman who worked as a maid at condominiums in Aspen, Colo., says, "The people used to leave a little cocaine on the table as a tip." Aspen, in fact, is known in faster circles as Toot City because it is so pervaded by coke. In another Colorado mountain resort, Telluride, six prominent citizens, including a former councilwoman, were charged last month with trafficking in cocaine. Says Mark Pautler, director of the police task force that made the arrests: "We have a strong feeling that a lot of people in Telluride knew what was going on but were looking the other...
