Evidence of this prehistoric jaunt was reported last week by U.S. geologists who had been excavating hillside sediments that were once part of the lake. The geological team, led by Kay Behrens-meyer and Leo LaPorte of the University of California at Santa Cruz, found seven footprints in a layer of sediment dated by radioactive clocks to be 1.5 million years old. All the prints apparently belonged to the same individual. One of them showed unmistakably that he, or perhaps she, had slipped while walking...
...regained her selfesteem, she seems better able than before to be a good mother to her child. The sudden pull of Streep's performance confuses loyalties even further. As Joanna gives her own account of her marriage and her efforts to recover from it, Streep painfully sheds layer after layer of the character's past.

Mud houses were entirely swept away, brick and concrete buildings were smashed, and just about everything else was buried under a layer of ooze almost 4 ft. thick. Rescue workers found bloated bodies half buried in the sediment and hanging from fences and tree branches. By week's end, some 1,100 corpses had been counted, and it seemed probable that the final toll would go even higher, not counting those...
...sophisticated that the fibrin itself encourages growth of blood vessels in the vicinity of the tumor, providing the malignant cells with a nourishing blood supply. As it enlarges, the tumor appears to secrete a fourth chemical that dissolves the shell from the inside yet does not break its outer layer...
