WASHINGTON -- Admiral Frank Kelso, his pension intact, isn't the only naval officer retiring in the wake of the Tailhook scandal. Lieut. Paula Coughlin, the pilot whose charges of sexual assault launched the official investigation, is leaving the service next week, bitter because she feels her complaints were ultimately brushed off. Adding insult to injury, the Navy's personnel bureau had been claiming she owed it nearly $19,000 of a prepaid pilot bonus that she now cannot "earn" because she is leaving four years ahead of schedule.

Researchers from the Institute of Human Origins (IHO) in Berkeley, California, and from Tel Aviv University in Israel report in the current issue of Nature that they have discovered a nearly intact skull from a male A. afarensis who lived about 200,000 years after Lucy -- call him Lucy's Grandson -- along with several arm bones from other males. The new fossils virtually clinch the view that A. afarensis is one species, placing it more firmly than ever at the root of the human family tree. And because the specimens are nearly a million years younger...
