In a world among the clouds, entomologist David Hawks and I keep watch for the
brilliant jewel scarab beetles of Hondurass tropical montane forests. We wait like
fishermen with nets cast, standing beside lighted white bedsheets spread on the ground.

Since then we and others have found seven new species in Honduras, and we rediscovered

Taking vitamin C can reduce death rates by as much as 42 per cent for men and 10
per cent for women who have taken it in high doses, a study released on Thursday showed.

The study by the UCLA School of Public Health, to be published Friday in the
In a 10-year follow-up study of 11,348 US adults, researchers found that men who
took relatively high doses of vitamin C were 45 per cent less likely to die of heart disease
than men in the lowest intake group, while women were 25 per cent less likely to die of
The researchers noted that claims that vitamin C improves health are not new.
Vitamin C, which is found naturally in citrus fruits, potatoes and leafy vegetables, is often
taken in tablet form to prevent ailments from scurvy to the common cold.
But earlier data on long-term health effects of high intake of the vitamin have been
age and sex of the subjects and a number of other variables, such as smoking and medical
history.
The researchers concluded that their findings support earlier indications that high
levels of vitamin C and other antioxidant vitamins, such as A and E, reduce the risk of

levels of vitamin C and other antioxidant vitamins, such as A and E, reduce the risk of
They also said the new research lends support to previously documented trends

Surveys have shown that about one fourth of all US adults take vitamin
supplements daily and about half use them less regularly. Vitamin C is the most common
of all supplements and is the nutrient most likely to be consumed in quantities greatly
For the UCLA study, researchers looked back at examination records from 1971 to

The Moche inhabited a series of river valleys along the arid coastal plain of
northern Peru from about A.D. 100 to 800. Through farming and fishing, they supported a
dense population and highly stratified society that constructed irrigation canals, pyramids,
palaces and temples. Although they had no writing system, the Moche left a vivid artistic
record of their activities in beautiful ceramic vessels, elaborately woven textiles, colorful
Finding undisturbed Moche tombs is rare in an area that has been looted for more
than four centuries, yet from 1997 to 1999 our team of U.S. and Peruvian researchers
discovered three extraoridinary tombs at Dos Cabezas, an ancient settlement in the lower
Jequetepeque Valley. Outside each burial chamber was a miniature tomb containing a
small copper statue meant to represent the tombs principal occupant. Each tomb also
contained a remarkably tall adult male who would have been a giant among his peers.
Gently lifting the copper bowl, I expected to see a skeletonized face. But stead,
looking up at me with inlaid eyes, was an exquisite gold-and copper funerary mask. We

On a morning in the year 1353 B.C. a young pharaoh of Egypt rose before dawn to
greet the sun with a poem he loved and perhaps had written-: Beautifully

capital city of Thebes. To him the rays of the sun were the embodiment of an ancient god
named Aten, whom he passionately revered. Oh living Aten, who initiates life Oh sole
This was no ordinary morning for the king-nor for ancient Egypt. Pharaoh
Amenhotep III had died, and this teenage son now had the power to elevate Aten above all
the other gods in Egypt's pantheon, even above the all powerful Amun, who for hundreds
Soon this enigmatic young man would change his name to Akhenaten, he who is
effective for Aten. With his queen, Nefertiti, he would plunge Egypt into a religious
revolution that shattered centuries of tradition. He would elevate Nefertiti to divine status,
giving her more influence than perhaps any other queen had known. And he would
abandon Thebes to build a huge new capital, today known as Amarna. Alchenaten,
Nefertiti, and the boy pharaoh Tutankhamun-perhaps Akhenatens son born to a secondary
wife-have been called the Pharaohs of the Sun. Their reign was brief. Akhenaten ruled just
17 years, and within a few years after his death in 1336 B.C., the old orthodoxy was
restored. Akhenaten's enemies soon smashed his statues, dismantled his temples, and set
out to expunge all memory of him and Nefertiti from Egypts historical record.
But the controversy the couple created lives on. Egyptologists still struggle to piece
together the story of this renegade pair. Swept up in religious passion, they brought the vast

Over the last 20 years I have watched various governments and presidents ignore
the warnings of the scientists. The massive amounts of vehicular and industrial pollution
in the United States now equal 25 percent of the world's pollution and have damaged
forests, caused lakes to turn acid, killing all life in them, and increased health problems.
Why would the United States allow this to happen? The answer of course is money and
power. The cost of reducing and ridding the country of this curse would be hundreds of
billions of dollars to the government and business community. The facts are plain:
businessmen dont want strict pollution laws passed, businessmen give money to
politicians to get re-elected, politicians want the money to keep coming so they can keep
The U.S. government and business have known for a long time that this problem
would have to be addressed, and now is the time. A law requiring the reduction of vehicle
pollution should be passed requiring that all vehicles manufactured after the year 2000 emit
Of course, the car industry and oil companies would stop those laws from being
passed. The same follows for industrial pollution laws, with a 20 5 percent reduction each
year starting in the year 2000 until a level of 5 percent pollution, is reached.
The government would have to provide tax write-offs and probably financial
assistance to achieve these goals. The U.S. Government should encourage other countries
to follow.
This is the right thing to do for a government that wants to be a world leader. You have
to pay a price for that title. As for the rest of the world, there is hardly a country with a
coastal area that will not lose land if the polar ice continues to melt and raises the ocean

Clearly, we need to ask some serious questions about what this relentless
supervision is doing to kids. Unsupervised play isn't just a childhood luxury we can
do without; _________. Study after study has shown that it helps to develop
children's ability to negotiate social rules and to create their own. In short, taking
risks in childhood goes hand in hand with developing new skills; nothing ventured,
nothing gained. It takes a brave parent to grant children freedom to play
unsupervised. But unless we do, we may stunt the social development of a generation.

What about identity? Humans are guaranteed the right to their own
personality. What would happen if we bypassed those rights by giving them someone
else's genetic identity? True, personality is not limited to someone's genes, but the
clone would share the physical appearance or genetic defects of the cloned
individual.
Also, there is a large power struggle here. Cloning involves a degree of power
and control over another person's physical identity and that violates their rights and
degrades their unique individuality. The person doing the cloning would have more

embryos, the start of 200 human beings, would die for the sake of just one embryo

the site and published an ambitious mapping project in their Die Provincia Arabia.
This survey has since undergone many necessary revisions, the most recent of which
correct the work of earlier scholars. In 1958, P.J. Parr and C.M. Bennett of the British
