...find at Olduvai; indeed, it was the only well-preserved fossil hominid to have been found outside South Africa, several thousand miles to the south. Unlike the South African sites, which lacked distinct geological layers, Olduvai offered a chance to get some real ages for the fossils. Using a method known as potassium-argon dating, Zinjanthropus was determined to be 1.75 million years old. At the time, this was staggering. It almost tripled the skull's estimated age, which had been obtained by geological interpretation. It stretched back our evolutionary perspective. Since that day, hundreds of hominid fossils have been...
Disagreements within the U.S. antiwar movement aren't just over ideology but method. Swarming protests--like the San Francisco shutdown and the 200,000-person march that closed streets in New York City on Saturday--continued over the weekend, sometimes to the clucking disapproval of more focused dissenters. "If I actually had 10,000 people who would listen to what I said," Clark notes, "I would certainly do things differently than the way they turned out in San Francisco. The job of a civil resister is to provoke a response. Vomiting on the streets--it's very creative...
There are two other second-trimester abortion options, but the dilation and extraction method is often the safest for the pregnant woman. A 1998 Journal of the American Medical Association article concluded that the death rate connected with other second trimester abortion methods were nearly double the rate for the dilation and extraction method. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology confirms that the dilation and extraction method “may be the best or most appropriate procedure in a particular circumstance and only the doctor, in consultation with the patient, can make this decision...
...perfect world, contraception would be 100 percent effective, no one would have sex until they were ready and every child conceived would be wanted. But in our world, method failure, bad judgment and rape are ever-present realities. We can spend our time lamenting their existence, and pretending they don’t affect us. Or we can face reality and do everything in our power to make terrible situations just a little less terrible. Emergency Contraception (EC) does not make the issue go away, but it does provide women a safe and effective option for preventing unwanted pregnancies...
...exile. To avoid this, the White House appears to be counting on the newly liberated Iraqis to turn him in. Sources tell TIME that the U.S. armed forces have developed pamphlets to be dropped over Iraq, warning citizens not to let Saddam escape. "We're counting on the Ceausescu method," says a senior planner at Central Command, which would lead a war on Iraq. He's referring to Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, executed by his subjects after his regime fell...
