Your front-page story on teaching fellows ("How Well Does the Faculty Train TFs?" March 2, 1994) adopts a fairly typical journalistic strategy: hurl as much mud as you can no as many targets as possible and hope that some of it sticks...

More than 3 million years ago, a tiny female, part human and part ape, slumped to the mud of an East African lakeshore and died, her bones sinking deep into the soft ground. Eventually, the lake dried. The mud turned to rock and so, gradually, did her bones. She might have rested there undisturbed forever but for the roaring geologic forces that ripped the earth apart over the next 30,000 centuries, finally thrusting the long-buried fossil bones to the surface -- where American anthropologist Donald Johanson would find them in 1974. Named Lucy, after the Beatles song Lucy...

...over the past several years, researchers have dug deep into Atlantic sea-floor sediments and Greenland glaciers to study the chemistry of ancient mud and ice, and they are increasingly convinced that climate change is anything but smooth. The transition from warm to frigid can come in a decade or two -- a geological snap of the fingers. Says Gerard Bond, a geophysicist at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Observatory: "The data have been coming out of Greenland for maybe two or three decades. But the first results were really so surprising that people weren't ready to believe them...
