...Asia and Africa 8,000,000 to 15 million years ago. But they have never known exactly where to place him on the evolutionary ladder. Did he belong to the family of apes? Or was he already a member of the family of man? The questions puzzled Yale Paleontologist Elwyn L. Simons, and his former student, David R. Pilbeam, both of whom had strongly suspected for some time that Rama was really more man than...

"Did you see the slightest flicker of emotion when even the most harrowing details were being discussed?" The all-male jury deliberated two hours and 22 minutes before returning with verdicts that demanded the maximum sentence. Britain's historical maximum penalty-death by hanging -had been abolished by Parliament during the time Brady and Myra Hindley were in prison awaiting trial...
