He advised on every creature feature, from head (they often lost teeth) to foot (when they walked, the heel, not the toe, hit the ground first.) "They have detail inside the T. rex's mouth that no one has ever seen. It's a guess -- a best guess. And a lot of adults will be surprised that dinosaurs don't drag their tails," Horner says.

Part 2, alas, goes astray, slighting environmental and social issues for mundane family melodrama...

The Davidians,too, employed a kind of spin control that implied something will remain intact to spin. David Koresh's attorneys talked about contesting some government assertions -- in court -- and described in detail a surrender scheduled after the group's Passover. Koresh also deputized two New York City lawyers to handle his book, television and movie rights, hardly the act of a man contemplating martyrdom...
