...University of Illinois' Doran and his colleagues retrieved a series of sediment cores from the bottom of three lakes that march up Taylor Valley like Cyclopean footprints: Fryxell, Hoare and Bonney. These cores are layered like the pages of a history book, and the record of geochemical shifts they contain can be used to reconstruct lake levels and stream flow for past centuries. Doran thinks that the record from Lake Fryxell may extend back 15,000 years...
...once the U.S. is rid of Saddam Hussein, Washington doves may push for a tougher line on Israel to conciliate an Arab world troubled by the American war against Iraq. And Sharon and Netanyahu aren't promising that their hard line will end the conflict. They believe they can contain the violence and, gradually, set up a Palestinian regime that will have learned a lesson from the violent collapse of Arafat's Palestinian Authority.

...assembled three committees to repair relations with Thailand, evaluate the damage done to the Thai embassy and estimate the financial losses of the Thai population living in Cambodia. He has also started rounding up "extremists," and his chief spokesman, Khieu Kanharith, has apologized for the government's inability to contain the riots. "We didn't think it would become anarchy," says Khieu. When the mob is unleashed, as it was in Phnom Penh last week, expecting anything less is deadly folly...
...speech was dead serious, and without lapses into the occasional I'm-looking-at-you-seriously-now furrow. It did not contain a single wisecrack; Bush stowed his famous snicker even during the entry glad-handing. He was a long way from the president who joked about his legitimacy in his first visit to that well of the House...
