...chairman of Hollywood's smartest studio does not have fun making deals, what are those visionary mavericks Coppola and Lucas doing playing the game -indeed, setting up their own studios? For one thing, it allows them to buy control of their films. With the profits from Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, Lucas, 36, could probably buy control of every film in Hollywood and have enough left over to pick up an MX missile: he is said to be worth more than $100 million.

Aegyptopithecus zeuxis (connecting ape of Egypt), which lived some 30 million years ago in what was then a lushly forested region in Egypt, has long been suspected of occupying a key position in the genealogy of higher primates, including man. Three years ago, Simons and his colleagues resumed their digging about 60 km (40 miles) southwest of Cairo, where he had found a single fossilized Aegyptopithecus skull in 1966. Last week they reported striking new evidence that the scrawny creature...
