Cohen came to Harvard with his love of writing very much intact. He read the Lampoon as a student at Boston-area Maimonides High School and wrote on his Harvard application that he wanted to write for the humor magazine.

...moths, stingless bees, caterpillars, termites, mushrooms and pollen grains, some of them dating back tens of millions of years, have been found in amber. And unlike ordinary fossils, which are relatively crude rock molds of prehistoric life forms, these specimens are often perfectly preserved, with the most delicate features intact...

It's three tiny flowers, probably from an oak tree, that date to the age of the dinosaurs, some 90 million years ago. That makes them the oldest intact flowers ever found in amber, and an important clue to the origin of the flowering plants that now dominate the earth...
...also a beginning of sorts. Faced with the existence of these planets, astronomers must now revise their theories to fit the new facts. To begin with, theorists have to scramble to explain how the 51 Pegasi planet could have formed and survived intact so close to its parent star. The planet around 70 Virginis is also problematic: its orbit is egg-shaped rather than circular, which suggests to some astronomers that it formed more like a star than like a planet. Indeed, many experts think it is technically a brown dwarf--a star that never got big enough to ignite...
