Stroessner's right-hand apparatchik for most of the dictator's nearly 35-year reign, Rodriguez abruptly unlearned his loyal habits when he was elected President after the 1989 coup, urging democratization. He silenced skeptics by voluntarily stepping down in 1993, but the grand gesture was later tainted by persistent charges of drug smuggling...

The Times-Picayune?s Walt Handelsman added another award for editorial cartooning. Among other top winners of the awards announced by Columbia University today...

The feat, moreover, was accomplished not by crossbreeding or genetic engineering but through the artful replacement of selected brain cells in a chicken embryo with those from the embryo of a Japanese quail, a fowl of a completely different sort...
