Ervin Taylor, director of the radiocarbon-dating lab at the University of California at Riverside: "If they sampled in the wrong place, then they were idiots--and I know that's not the case." Geoscientist Paul Damon, a member of the University of Arizona team that tested one of the 1988 samples, hastens to say that the swatch was selected conscientiously and on the advice of textile experts. Contradicting Adler...
...DECEPTIVE COAT OF VARNISH? One challenge to the radiocarbon dating that has received a good deal of publicity is that of Dr. Leoncio Garza-Valdes, a San Antonio, Texas, pediatrician with interests in microbiology and archaeology.

Since it also had traces of ancient blood on it that should have been datable by the radiocarbon method, he took it to the University of Arizona dating lab, where scientists scraped...
Tomes spent the next 15 years working as a counselor for Catholic Charities. He characterizes his life back then as quite ordinary. "I liked to drink with my buddies and date women," he says.

Bohnett's was the first Website to supply free home pages, and the tools to build them, to all comers. To date, nearly 1.7 million users have signed up and are publishing their home-brew homages to Leo DiCaprio, Beanie Babies, Windows 95 and everything between...
