...when he got to Dia in 1994, he helped his artists dream big. Besides offering them close to 240,000 sq. ft. (73,000 sq m) of exhibition space at Dia, he embraced such large-scale earthworks as Michael Heizer's City project and James Turrell's Roden Crater...
...Iridium is rare on Earth but common in asteroids. The iridium layer, mapped by the Alvarezes in scattered sites around the world, suggested an asteroid that vaporized on impact, spreading a cloud throughout the stratosphere. The argument seemed sealed in the 1990s, when geologists realized that a huge crater centered near Chicxulub, Mexico, was almost certainly caused by a giant impact at just the time the extinctions occurred...
...about bringing back the Clintons. And there is suspicion, among the party's fervent antiwarriors, that Clinton remains a hawk in dove's coo.

A small school bus sat a few feet away from the site, abandoned. TV helicopters showed what appeared to be pickup truck in the crater created by the explosion. Nearby, an elderly woman covered in dark brown debris and clearly alarmed approached two police officers, who offered to call an ambulance or drive her home. A few blocks away, some of the crowd formed a knot around an ambulance, where paramedics tended to two people...
