...finally won MediaOne's hand. Comcast, for stepping aside, gets to buy 2 million of AT&T's cable subscribers to further solidify its current position as a regional powerhouse and national No. 3. Not to mention $1.5 billion in deal-breaker fees from MediaOne (AT&T will foot that bill). So Comcast is happy. MediaOne's stockholders are definitely happy. And the groom? "This deal, along with the TCI purchase, is one that AT&T needed to make," says TIME senior economics reporter Bernard Baumohl. "Now they're at the vanguard of the next thing in telecommunications." In fact...
...partial skull of a new species of human ancestor from 2.5 million years ago, right in the middle of the gap. They also discovered evidence that someone was using tools to butcher animals in the same location at approximately the same time. And they found fossil arm, leg and foot bones that will provide experts with important clues about how human ancestors were built in those days. Exclaims anatomist Alan Walker of Pennsylvania State University: "This is really exciting...
...foot bones were discovered in the same geological layer but some 900 ft. away from the skull and teeth. Without physical proximity to link the two finds, and without teeth for comparison, the paleontologists can't be sure that they are from the same species. But like the skull, these fossils show a mix of primitive and advanced traits. Australopithecus afarensis, which lived between 3.6 million and 2.9 million years ago, had forearms that were long compared with its legs, while Homo erectus, which appeared about 1.7 million years ago, had shortened forearms and longer legs, more like modern humans...

Kraemer and another agent grabbed him and pulled him to safety. The boy, with gunshot wounds in the head and foot, was so much in shock that he could barely say his name. Rick or Rich, they thought he said. His name was Patrick Ireland. He had taken two bullets to the head. Last week the 17-year-old was in serious condition, suffering from impaired speech and damaged motor skills...
...self-titled release, contained the primordial elements of electronically influenced guitar rock in the radio hits "Friends of P." and "Move On" that are fully realized here. Sharps' nonchalant vocals and silly lyrics are melodiously complemented by the omnipresent, wispy voice of Petra, Hayden, creating an eerie, guitar-driven, foot-tapping rock surrealism. Despite losing Pat Wilson, the bald, droky drummer from Weezer, Sharp has brilliantly succeeded by relying on sampling, electronic beats and the Moog to provide a unique rhythm section. Seven draws on a myriad genres, from the bluegrass track "She Says It's All Right...
