...least you can try. Those molecular clocks are still rather crude. "The mitochondrial DNA signals a migration up to 30,000 years ago," says research geneticist Michael Hammer of the University of Arizona. "But the Y suggests that it occurred within the last 20,000 years." That's quite a discrepancy. Nevertheless, Hammer believes that the evidence is consistent with a single pulse of migration...
Light sweet crude oil prices topped $68 a barrel last month but have since fallen under...
Buried in the huge budget-reconciliation bill, on which House and Senate conferees are putting the final touches right now, are a few paragraphs that accomplish an extraordinary feat.

Unless he grows as a performer—and unless his subject material grows with him—Fatel’s performance will always remain crude and one-dimensional. Ultimately, however, these faults should not necessarily dissuade people from picking up “Super Retardo”. Although repeat listeners may experience unquestionably diminishing returns, the first-timer will likely be brought to tears—provided he is of an appropriate age and sensibility. Of course...
