...been advised that there was a grave on the premises. In the process of clearing the land, workmen came upon a small gravesite hidden by brush and overgrowth. Upon finding the grave, Smith stopped work and began to clear and preserve the site. He intends to restore it to proper condition, fence it in and record it in public records, so the cemetery will be preserved in perpetuity. JAMES E. CROSS JR.

LIVERS AND BLADDERS. Anthony Atala, a surgeon who makes bladders at Boston's Children's Hospital, has taken muscle cells from the outside of dog bladders and lining cells from the inside and grown them in his lab. The cells, fed the proper growth-prompting chemicals, happily go forth and multiply. "In six weeks we have enough cells to cover a football field," Atala says.

James Cameron bellowed last year; his belated tribute to the 1,500 or so people who died on the Titanic put the victims in their proper place as a historical footnote. It was the greatest Oscar moment since Sally Field's "You like me" speech back in 1985. That said, I'd rather listen to Hanks than to fellow nominee Nick Nolte--you heard it here first!--ramble on gruffly if ethereally, like some scary uncle...
