...Shemmer sent over yesterday contained a single incorrect figure about revenue growth, the result of a minor mathematical error. ("Banking is like that--we're detail, detail, detail oriented," Shemmer explains. "No spelling errors, no errors in numbers. It has to look professional.") Shemmer dials the boss on speakerphone. "Dino, babe," says the senior staffer caustically. Without a beat, Shemmer explains the error and tells him it's been corrected. "I apologize for the oversight," he says.

Back in the West, she copped a less prestigious prize...
...atypically peaceful scene for those dino-eat-dino days. Amid the shallow streams of a broad floodplain, scores of huge, grazing female dinosaurs were making their nests and hovering near their eggs, as their predecessors had doubtless done for ages untold. But their tranquillity was suddenly disturbed. Out of nowhere came a flood of mud and silt, scattering the lumbering beasts and burying their progeny. The lively dinosaur nursery was lost forever...
