In Georgia's Barrow County, the general emergency funds to pay rent deposits, buy milk or fill a prescription usually run out by the middle of each month, and all the mental-health programs have waiting lists. Caseworkers in New York City lack computers; pens, white-out and photocopying paper are also limited. Sometimes, as a matter of policy, they put the phones on hold to reduce...
...phyla? Some scientists suggest that the evolutionary barrel still contained plenty of organisms that could quickly diversify and fill all available ecological niches. Others, however, believe that in the surviving organisms, the genetic software that controls early development had become too inflexible to create new life-forms after the Permian extinction. The intricate networks of developmental genes were not so rigid as to forbid elaborate tinkering with details; otherwise, marvels like winged flight and the human brain could never have arisen. But very early on, some developmental biologists believe, the linkages between multiple genes made it difficult to change important...
...really saddens us to see the Undergraduate Council huff and puff and blow its own house down.

Professional skeptics find the film a clever or clumsy hoax. Others believe it's real, but not from Roswell. The UFOlogical combatants duel it out in magazines and on the Internet while poring over the footage with an intensity not lavished...
