...Good Hunch. That same morning, a policeman from Montgomery, Md., investigated the home of William Bradford Bishop Jr. in Bethesda, just outside of Washington, D.C. There had been no signs of life there for a week, and a worried neighbor in the close-knit community had called the police. In four bedrooms of the Bishop home and on the stairs, the policeman discovered blotchy splatters of blood. Otherwise there were no signs of forced entry or physical violence. None of the Bishops' neighbors could later recall any screams heard in the night, and none had any idea about what...
...Montgomery police had heard about the unidentified bodies unearthed in North Carolina, and the flyer that had been posted at Poch Hardware. On a hunch, they took the flyer from the store and showed it to a young woman who had been a babysitter for the Bishops. Shown the grisly photos, she cried out: "That's the Bishop family!"

The only missing member of the family was Bradford Bishop, 39. Says...

While Ledesma says...
Last week Mary Leakey announced fresh findings that set man's genesis even deeper in the distant past. The evidence comes not from Olduvai but from Laetolil. Returning there after her husband's death in 1972, on a hunch "we didn't look hard enough," she began uncovering jawbones and teeth that seemed clearly human; that is, they belonged to the genus Homo (or true man), rather than to man-apes (like Australopithecus, who once was thought to be the forerunner of man but is now regarded as a possible evolutionary dead end). One clue...
With Acorn and Bullard, Ford didn't want to mess with a good thing, as the combo produced much of last year's offense. And he was right on that hunch too, as Acorn scored the only goal in the first half, and Bullard made it 2-0 midway through the second...
