...Animals' Ball, for furless vegetarians, and the Triangle Ball, for gays and lesbians. It's a great way to make a statement, but at $250 a pop, being p.c. can be costly...

This indicates that the whole earth was warm at that time, and therefore fine for furless, cold-blooded dinosaurs. Urey's next job will be to measure the temperature of the Eocene period that followed the Cretaceous...
