...locomotion from the fossil evidence. At last week's meeting, for example, scientists debated whether pterosaurs walked on two legs, like birds, or crawled on all fours, like bats. Hundreds of footprints discovered at dozens of sites in the U.S. and Europe over the past few years, argues Martin Lockley of the University of Colorado at Denver, strongly support the latter conclusion. The pattern of these footprints, which range in size from 1 in. to 5 in., suggests that pterosaurs held their bodies in a semierect position, with their long wings folded back so that their clawlike fingers gripped...

With no perceptible help from Director Milton Katselas (Forty Carats), Moriarty cooks up a caricature of a sad-sack flatfoot, slow on the draw and even slower on wit. Although excuses are supplied for his presence...
