...FESTIVAL. "The Tenth Annual Monterey Jazz Festival." Selections from the "blues afternoon" of the 1967 festival, featuring such gospel and blues performers as T-Bone Walker, B. B. King, Richie Havens and the Clara Ward Singers...
...were friendly to a relative of mine eight years ago," he told the Ohioans. "I'm asking for a fair shake, and when this is over, I'm coming back to Ohio and hope to talk about my record then." This is a far cry from the Kennedys' bone-crushing approach to Ohio in 1960, when they virtually forced Governor Mike Di Salle to stand aside as a favorite son so that Jack Kennedy could have the field to himself. Di Salle cooperated and, despite his hurt feelings, is a Kennedy backer today...
During a geological survey in the Palouse River canyon in 1965, Washington State University Geologist Roald Fryxell and Archaeologist Richard Daugherty explained, a bulldozer they were using scraped bare some bone fragments. Forgetting their survey, they began digging carefully at the site and uncovered other bones, some animal and some that were finally identified in 1967 as human skull fragments. Still picking away in a 10-ft.-deep shaft last month, the scientists found two additional major skull fragments, finger and wrist bones, rib fragments, an eye socket and what is probably a leg bone, enabling them to confirm that...
Time Is Running Out. To determine the age of the fossilized "Marmes man" (named after the rancher who owns the site), the W.S.U. scientists radiocarbon-dated mollusk shells lying in a stratum above the bone remnants and decided that they were nearly 11,000 years old. Thus, they reasoned, the bones lying in the stratum below must be between 11,000 and 13,000 years old. This gives Marmes man paleontologic seniority over such previously discovered Western Hemisphere relics as "Minnesota Minnie," the Midland (Texas) man and the Tepexpan (Mexico) man, all estimated to be some 10,000 years...
There was also evidence that the early Washingtonian had suffered a grisly fate. Both human and animal bones found at the site were blackened-probably by fire-and some were split as if someone had tried to get at the bone marrow. "I think that it's entirely possible that the Marmes man was consumed by his buddies," says Geologist Fryxell. "In other words, they had him for dinner." From the fragmented condition of the skull, it was plain that Marmes man had also suffered from Excedrin Headache...
