...double's action saw freshman Gina Majmudar and sophomore Kelly Granat team up for a win at number-two doubles and freshman Maryla Madura and captain Kendra Harris take the number-three doubles contest...
...Fugitive is now a witness for the prosecution. Sam Reese Sheppard, son of the Ohio doctor whose trial for the murder of his wife inspired the "Fugitive" TV series and movie, has relented and will not contest the exhumation of his mother's body by state prosecutors. "It is emotionally wearing," Sheppard said Monday, complaining of the 45 years prosecutors have had to investigate this case and of the further delays the exhumation will pose for his $2 million suit for the wrongful imprisonment of his father. But after a 10-year fight to clear his father?s name, Sheppard...
MATTHEW COOPER, who joined TIME only last month, has already had the unusual experience of being able to admire his photo in the magazine: last year, while he was still a national correspondent at Newsweek, he made our pages after winning a contest that crowned him Washington's Funniest Celebrity.

...prehistory, our family tree included several species of hominids--erect, upright-walking primates. All were competitors in an evolutionary struggle from which only one would ultimately emerge. Then came yet another flowering of species that would compete for survival. Neanderthals simply represented the most recent version of that contest. And while we'd find it bizarre to share our world with another human species, the fact that we've been alone since the Neanderthals vanished some 30,000 years ago is an evolutionary aberration...
