...those are in a hieroglyphic language that archaeologists have not yet been able to decipher. The city's celebrated painted murals don't provide many clues either. "There are very few glimpses of daily life," complains Arizona State University anthropologist George Cowgill. The best information scientists have to date comes from a series of mass graves discovered about a decade ago in the so-called Feathered Serpent Pyramid by Cowgill, his Arizona State colleague Saburo Sugiyama and Ruben Cabrera of Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History. Most of the 150 skeletons found there were buried with their hands...
...many underdeveloped regions of the world, political instability is a common fact of Home life. Before the journey, visitors should prepare by staying up-to-date on current events at Home, keeping careful track of who is in power and their stances on key political issues (such as who is responsible for cleaning up after dinner).

But if Clinton were to seriously consider resigning, would it surprise anyone if Gore advised Bill to think about it for a month...
...night in camp, Mittermeier laments the general ignorance of this terrain. The marine biologist Sylvia Earle made the same point to me some months ago about life in the oceans; we yearn for Mars, a planet as good as dead, and know so little of life on Earth. To date we have identified between 1.5 million and 1.7 million species, but the best guesses put the total number of the planet's species at between 5 million and 15 million, and it could be as high as 100 million. "How can we talk about extinction rates," Mittermeier asks, "unless...
