...Smith, a scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, says this particular skeleton was probably torn apart by sharp-toothed predators as it lay on the beach of a warm tropical sea. He found only a few bones, but they were enough to calculate the dinosaur's gargantuan size at 80 to 100 feet long and weighing 60-70 tons. The find solves another mystery: what those previously discovered predators - three different kinds, each (at 50 feet) bigger than Tyrannosaurus Rex - were dining on during their prehistoric stay on the old North African coast. Said Smith: "Now we've found...
...gallery of portraits of the correspondents who helped make TIME what it is. There they are, interviewing Presidents, traveling with guerrillas, crossing wild rivers in dugout canoes; talking to champions and losers who won't quit; trying to figure out how to send in their reporting from areas torn apart by war. And every week, as I look over their shoulders, I feel as if I am in that car with Ruther Batuigas, granted the extraordinary privilege of tagging along to go where the action is. At those moments, as deadline approaches and stories come due, when the talents...
...deaths of two members of an American missionary family [in a small plane shot down by the Peruvian military, which thought the plane was involved in drug smuggling] should serve as a wake-up call [NATION, May 7].

...never seen anything like it. Directed by Baz Luhrmann (Romeo + Juliet), Moulin Rouge is a postmodern, absinthe-fueled journey through the titular Parisian nightclub at the birth of the 20th century, set to mid- and late-20th century pop songs. Kidman stars as Satine, the doomed, ambitious courtesan torn between a penniless writer (Ewan McGregor) and a sugar-daddy duke (Richard Roxburgh). "She sings, she dances, she dies, she's funny," says Luhrmann. "You can't get more tested than that...
They are best known for secret handshakes, embroidered aprons and the dire penalties reputed to be inflicted on those who break their oath of secrecy. But today's Freemasons insist that tattletales are no longer-if ever they were-subjected to "having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out ... and buried in the sands of the sea." In fact, so eager are Britain's Freemasons to dispel the sinister associations that still cloud their reputation that the United Grand Lodge of England (UGL) whose 300,000 members represent 90% of the Masons in England and Wales has hired...
