...have been finding in the distribution of organisms whose fossilized remains are so vanishingly small that most are not visible to the naked eye. Under a microscope, Knoll notes, the cellular architecture of these ancient life-forms looks remarkably similar to that of modern algae.

Bakley's defenders are few and mostly kin (or lawyers they have hired). Her half brother Peter Carlyon of Memphis, Tenn., says that Bakley had phoned to say she was afraid of Blake and that if she ended up dead he would be to blame.
