...fondly as that of imagining my parents (or myself) taking an active part in each and every social, political and cultural watershed of that era. I’m as proud that my father was tear-gassed marching against the war in Washington in October 1967 (his second date with my mother, a year or so later, was at another peace rally) as that he cut a low-rent lyrical folk-pop album at the end of the decade. Sure, cynics might brand the DNC itself a dad trying too hard to be cool, but I for one appreciated...
...cannot date the Jaru myth, but we can date the discovery of its factual underpinning very precisely, to 1947. Geologist Frank Reeves, then working for the Vacuum Oil Company, was conducting an aerial survey of the Canning Basin when he spotted the crater near Wolfe Creek. "He thought it was volcanic at first," says his daughter Peggy Reeves Sanday, "but was later able to confirm it was of meteoric origin." Sanday, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, grew up with stories about the crater but didn't visit it until 1999, when she learned tribal tales that were...
...Hand stencils have been found in only three other caves in Tasmania's spectacularly rugged southwest, all reachable by only the keenest of bushwalkers. Dating of those discovered in 1986 in Ballawinne cave, in the Maxwell Valley, provided the first proof that rock art in Australia had survived from the last Ice Age, which ended roughly 10,000 years ago. Tasmania was then joined to the Australian mainland by a land bridge, and though the island's stencils may not be as old as Arnhem Land's tableaux of long-limbed spirits, or as elaborate as the red spectral figures...
...American Medical Association, banned by New York State and dropped by pay-per-view cable. Match results are covered by the Las Vegas Review Journal's sports pages. At a bout last month, audience members included Shaquille O'Neal (who the owners say once asked them to change the date of a fight because he had a game), Juliette Lewis, Cindy Crawford and her husband, Rande Gerber. The sport, which seems to involve a lot of submission holds and smeared blood, may surpass both frat-house hazing and Mel Gibson films as the world's most homoerotic event. And while...
...costume and renounces his arachno-essence. It takes a woman's love to convince him that his mask doesn't disguise his identity; it is his identity. You see here the relative freedom a sequel can bring. The first film in a series is like an awkward first date. Once they are past the getting-to-know-you stage, writers can flesh out characters they could only sketch in the initial film. Any critic could name a fistful of follow-ups that outshone originals: The Bride of Frankenstein; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; The Road Warrior; Aliens; Batman...
