Like the animals from which they came, the fossils are tiny, many smaller than a matchstick. Says Krishtalka: "One rarely finds small specimens preserved so exquisitely." Animals that have been identified include bats, monkeys, iguana-like reptiles, a possum-like marsupial and salamanders. The scientists have yet to label the new species but have linked them to the lizard and shrew families...
American political cartooning, in the doldrums for years while the British were better at it, is at a high level now. You get the impression that the top cartoonists would expel from their midst anyone who had to label a figure "Mondale." Mike Peters of the Dayton Daily News speaks of Mondale's "wonderful beak."

For Fendi in Rome he does furs and some couture, as well as swank ready-to-wear. And right now his first collection under his own name is making its debut all over the world. At prices ranging from $400 for a silk blouse to $4,000 for a nifty evening number that shifts along a woman's body like a Slinky, it is moving very...
