...even well-heeled Dalton can afford to take an entire class on an excavation in the Middle East, so these students are working on Archaeotype, a computer simulation of a dig -- shoveling sounds and all -- created at Dalton and based on an actual site.

As they uncover spearheads and ivory pieces on the screen, these 11- year-olds speak of ``stratification'' and ``in situ artifacts'' with near professional fluency.

Pressler, a foe of federal financing of public broadcasting, said he had merely wanted to get a fuller picture of the organization...
Professor of Pathology Dr. Jeffrey L. Sklar and co-workers have used enzymes called resolvases, isolated from bacteriainfecting viruses, to hunt for mutations in large genes. The technique, reported in the journal Nature Genetics, has proved capable of detecting 94 percent of mutations in a gene...
