Keller's and Addate's species samplings are not, of course, conclusive, and plenty of other surveys since 1978 do tie the extinctions closely to the asteroid. But since the new digs were so close to ground zero, the immediate species loss ought to be have been - if anything - greater there than anywhere else in the world. Instead, the animals seemed to escape unharmed. Other paleontologists, however, believe that the very proximity of El Peñón to the impact site makes the results even less reliable. Earthquakes and tsunamis that resulted from the collision could have wrought havoc...
...That doesn't mean we should expect Asian nations to immediately start shooting wars over access to the Mekong or the Yalu - though all bets are off if climate change leads to the loss of the Himalayan glaciers whose seasonal melt provides water for billions in Asia.

...start.After a rocky first day that saw the No. 16 Black and White drop races to Yale, Virginia, and USC, the varsity squads responded with a clean sweep in yesterday’s concluding races of the Charles River Challenge against Gonzaga and Tennessee.The weekend opened with a tough loss to Yale in the Case Cup, a race marked by strong headwinds throughout the course. The Varsity Eight never managed to recover from Yale’s fast start that allowed the Bulldogs to open-up a boat-length lead halfway through the race. Yale finished in 6:56 with...
