Those with a sweet tooth have long found it hard to resist a second bite of Cadbury chocolate. Kraft, it seems, is no different. The world's second biggest foodmaker unleashed a hostile bid for the British confectioner on Monday, offering $16.3 billion in cash and shares under the same terms as a friendly approach that was rejected by Cadbury in September. Absent any sweetener, Cadbury's board "emphatically rejected this derisory offer," chairman Roger Carr fired back in a statement. The bid, he said, "does not come remotely close to reflecting the true value of our company." (See nine...
...year-old man - but they were new to 5-year-olds, who got a daily tutorial in how to make people laugh. He would parry with two animals seen on camera only as long paws: White Fang, "the biggest, meanest dog in the United States," and Black Tooth, "the nicest dog in the United States." Or he would go to the back door and greet some (usually unseen) visitor. One was his "girlfriend" Peaches - represented visually by Sales in a blond wig and baggy dress and vocally by either Adler or Frank Nastasi, who did the puppeteering from...

The evidence of this harmonious existence comes from, of all things, Ardipithecus' teeth: its canine teeth are relatively stubby compared with the sharp, dagger-like upper fangs that male chimps and gorillas use to do battle. "The male canine tooth," says Lovejoy, "is no longer projecting or sharp. It's no longer weaponry...
...Science doesn't put out special issues very often, and the extraordinary number and variety of fossils described in these new papers mean that scientists are arguing over real evidence, not the usual single tooth here or bit of foot bone there. "When we started our work [in the Middle Awash]," says White, "the human fossil record went back to about 3.7 million years." Now scientists have a trove of information from an era some 700,000 years closer to the dawn of the human lineage. "This isn't just a skeleton," he says. "We've been able...
