...HUPD radio hums in the background, rattling off an endless barrage of codes, car numbers and static. The stream of white noise is interrupted only by the crooning of the Bryan Adams and the Blues Traveler tunes playing on the radio...

Disappointed with Tuesday's results? Bide your time. Voters of New Hampshire: lock your doors! Citizens of lowa: batten the hatches!

Lockley, for one, argues that pterosaurs had to be capable of birdlike takeoffs and landings if only because so many pterosaur footprints come from mudflats along the seashore. If they were incapable of flying off after landing in such areas, he says, they would have quickly died...
