...stand, Connie identified the "closest" one as Cousin, saying he was 5 ft. away. They made "eye contact," and he "broke eye contact first." Next, she says she saw "a gold glint or flicker" in his teeth as he said something to one of his companions. (Cousin does have gold caps on his teeth.) She and Gerardi continued walking toward Gerardi's truck. The killer Connie identified as Cousin stopped, bent down and "fiddled" with his boot. (Police were unable to find boots that fit Cousin in his home, and he says he doesn't own any.) Gerardi sent Connie...

Devotees and first-timers to the Dance Hall Crashers experience have sought refuge in the Middle East basement from the blistering breezes, eagerly awaiting any glint of the band's presence.

Many of the couple's most famous discoveries were hers. One of the earliest occurred in October 1948, when Mary caught the glint of a tooth during an expedition to Lake Victoria's fossil-rich Rusinga Island. It was part of the jaw and skull fragments of a creature called Proconsul africanus, then widely thought to be a human ancestor (though now considered more closely related to the apes). The discovery made them so "exhilarated and also utterly content with each other," Mary wrote in her 1984 biography, Disclosing the Past, "that we cast aside care..." She gave birth...
