...were discovered in the same geological layer but some 900 ft. away from the skull and teeth. Without physical proximity to link the two finds, and without teeth for comparison, the paleontologists can't be sure that they are from the same species. But like the skull, these fossils show a mix of primitive and advanced traits. Australopithecus afarensis, which lived between 3.6 million and 2.9 million years ago, had forearms that were long compared with its legs, while Homo erectus, which appeared about 1.7 million years ago, had shortened forearms and longer legs, more like modern humans...
...number of cliques--jocks, hockey kids (a separate group), preppies, stoners, gangbangers (gang-member wannabes), skaters (as in skateboarders) and, as they say, nerds. Other high schools have variations on these themes. California has its surfer cliques, and Austin High School in Texas has the hicks--or kickers--who show up at school in cowboy boots, big hats and oversize belt buckles...
...kids begin rejecting other kids. And even in kindergarten, children have a good idea which of their classmates are popular and which are not. But schools can take the edge off the situation through inclusiveness. "I can't remember ever going to a pep rally and having the skaters show off their talents," says Curtis Cook, a parent at Phoenix's Desert Vista High School. Says New York City psychoanalyst Leon Hoffman: "All kids need to belong, and if they can't belong in a positive way at the school, they'll find a way to belong to a marginal...

Lynch is shooting a scene for Mulholland Drive, his new 1-hr. series expected to premiere this fall on ABC. The show follows two women--one an innocent, the other a vixen with a shady past--whose lives intersect in contemporary Hollywood. As the cameras roll, a Yellow taxi drives up, depositing an ethereal-looking blond at the gate. She pauses breathlessly, then struts through--on her way, she hopes, to becoming...
...this is hardly a typical 2-hr. TV pilot. But Lynch isn't your average director-producer; and Mulholland Drive, his first dramatic series since Twin Peaks nine years ago, isn't likely to be just another police or legal drama. And that makes it just the kind of show that is becoming the trademark of Imagine Television...
