Marston found in gravel at Swanscombe, Kent some human skull fragments which he thought to be of antiquity comparable with the Piltdown skull (TIME, Oct. 12, 1936). Academic anthropologists at first paid him no heed. But when the Swanscombe relic was examined under scholastic auspices...
...TIME, Aug. 1's cover, Smiling Governor "Happy" Chandler aptly lives up to his name. As a dentist, I immediately noticed two missing upper lateral incisors. Am I right in this observation, or was the photograph incorrectly touched...
