...years later, working with microbiologist Stephen Mattingly of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Garza-Valdes determined that the coating was embedded with "coccal-shaped bacteria and filamentous mold-like organisms." In some places, the coating increased the diameter of the fibers as much as 60%--which the two scientists say could be enough to skew the radiocarbon dating by 1,300 years. What is more, this coating--which is transparent and thus invisible to the naked eye--cannot be removed by the conventional cleaning methods of most radiocarbon labs. Properly cleaned, says Mattingly, "I think...
...clawed back some territory in Anlong Veng. But with the Khmer Rouge's having lost so many civilians, observers say, it is just a matter of time before its final rump--estimated at 500 to 1,000 soldiers--is dissolved.

Five years ago, an eco-activist and self-taught electronics whiz named Stephen Dunifer founded Free Radio Berkeley, trekking up into the hills behind the city and transmitting out of his backpack one night a week with home-built equipment.

Dunifer co-edited a book, Seizing the Airwaves, and mounted...

These grants seem little more than a token act on the part of the Office of the Arts, and this policy often forces students to consider the practicality of furthering their musical pursuits. "Barring the miniscule possibility that I win the Mass Millions jackpot, I am going to put music on hold for a little while," says Cho, who is currently pursuing a career in investment banking, even though he realizes...
...stirring nonetheless -- and something to think about in this tabloid age. Bogart, additionally, is reason enough to watch. Spot Mr. Howell and Ed Begley Jr.'s father, and you get a gold star. Try The Paper (1994), co-penned (and cameoed in) by current TIME editor Stephen Koepp, if you've got to see something post-war, but please, please don't rent I Love Trouble, unless you really do. Because CP will find out where you live...
