...Bush pledged last January to send $3.5 billion to the state and local authorities who will bear the burden of responding to a terrorism emergency, the money was appropriated by Congress only last week. Interviews with dozens of homeland-security officials, from New York City to Long Beach, Calif., reveal that while local authorities around the country are more aware of the potential for terrorist strikes, they lack the resources to upgrade defenses against them. Hospitals say they can't train enough employees to effectively spot and treat victims of biological attacks; fire departments can't afford...
Burger and Salazar undertook fresh interpretations of tools and dwellings and concluded that Machu Picchu was heavily populated by craftsmen, probably brought there by the royals to tend to their material needs. Facial studies of recovered skulls reveal a healthy stew of ethnic groups, pointing to a multicultural mix of servants as opposed to a uniform class of priests. Skeletal analyses conducted by physical anthropologist John Verano of Tulane University, one of Burger and Salazar's collaborators, show that the ratio of females to males was a comparatively even 3 to 2 and that families and even infants lived...
...plasma is indeed responsible, it couldn't have done it alone. It needed to make its way through an existing breach in Columbia's aluminum skin. How could that coat have been punctured? There are still only theories, but here is what we do know: new temperature records reveal that the heat in the left wheel well began to increase when the shuttle was still over the Pacific, heading for California. That suggests the ship sustained damage in orbit, but began to feel the effects only when the temperature rose during re-entry. "In a large number of cases," says...
...same thing. Most tellingly, NASA released a photograph taken by a high-powered Air Force telescope as Columbia soared over New Mexico. It had been widely reported that damage to the left wing was visible in the picture, but the resolution turned out to be too poor to reveal anything conclusive. The agency was hopeful that the videotapes might yield more, but skeptics cautioned that even during routine re-entries, bursts of plasma can mimic the appearance of debris...
...entirely alone?without a guide or a porter?but it's a false economy. Kamal was a font of knowledge about local culture and the unique flora and fauna I would have otherwise overlooked. He showed me how to crack open a type of mud-color river stone to reveal ancient fossils. He also pointed out ragged scars on the mountain flanks caused by landslides that not only destroy villages but take out trekking parties as well. Altitude sickness is another potential killer. I chafed at Kamal's exhortations to go slower, but soon came to heed his warnings. Even...
