All the while, an Army Signal Corpsman crouched unseen behind the lectern, reeling out microphone cord when Johnson wandered to the edge of the stage and making sure that he did not trip himself...
Scientists established the age of the ancient skull by using the potassium argon method of dating an overlying lava flow, which is apparently 26 million years old.

This replacement allowed victims of cholera to outlast the disease until recovery could occur. Because it is cheap and so simple that trained laymen can use it, the Phillips treatment has worked a mass miracle in Southeast Asia...
