...matter much to people who visit Moscow's Pushkin Museum over the next year, though. For all his character flaws and sloppy science, Schliemann still unearthed one of the richest archaeological troves ever found. And beginning this week, 259 of the thousands of objects he dug from the Turkish soil in the late 1800s will go on public display for the first time in 50 years: diadems of woven gold, rings, bracelets, intricate earrings and necklaces, buttons, belts and brooches as well as anthropomorphic figures, bowls and vessels for perfumed oils...

What scientists do know is that water, air and soil all over the world are tainted with small amounts of many of these chemicals. They know that once the pollutants get inside the body, they can bind with receptors that normally recognize estrogen and other natural hormones. They know that these hormones are crucial to the development of a normal reproductive system. And they know that--in lab tests on animals, at least--vanishingly small amounts of industrial chemicals, delivered at just the crucial stage of fetal development, can "feminize" a male embryo, producing smaller testicles, low sperm output...
