...rise of mammals. The suddenness with which so many species vanished after that time always suggested a single cataclysmic event, and the 1978 discovery of a 112-mile, 65-million-year-old crater off the Yucatán Peninsula near the town of Chicxulub seemed to seal the deal...
Russia has crafted its role by using its two most valuable assets - vast energy resources and mountains of military hardware - to cut a series of clever deals.
