...Basin extends from Boston' Harbor to a ridge of volcanic rocks running from Milton north to Lynn and westward to Route 128. The discovery, which is formally announced in the May 7 issue of Science magazine, solves a "mystery plaguing us for over 100 years," said Elso S. Barghoorn. Fisher Professor of Natural History and another participant in the year-long research project...
...Boston marathon tends to draw out a vein of exhibitionism in runners. Why elso would someone sweat out the course in a full tuxedo as one runner did Monday? "It's like the race is a parade and the runners are floats, only better," one runner said. Another hint for you prospectives: wear something catchy so the crowd will yell for you it can carry you through the race.

Harvard paleontologist Elso S. Barghoorn liberated a prehistoric algae from the rock prison it had been locked in for the past 3.5 billion years. The freed algae had no immediate words for the press, although Barghoon claims it is the oldest form of life anyone has ever seen...
Then how and when did free oxygen begin appearing in the atmosphere? A clue to the answer has been found in the incredibly old sedimentary rocks of South Africa's eastern Transvaal by Harvard's Elso Barghoorn and Andrew Knoll, now with the Oberlin College department of geology. To the naked eye, the 3.5 billion-year-old rocks Barghoorn and Knoll collected during a visit last year revealed no traces of early life. But the scientists soon uncovered the stones' secrets. Returning to Harvard with samples of the rock, the pair used a diamond cutter...
...Elso S. Barghoorn, Fisher Professor of Natural History and a member of the exobiology panel of the American Academy of Science's Space Sciences Board that was established in 1958 to advise NASA, said yesterday, it is "certainly an inorganic reaction" which is causing the release of oxygen...
