...Tell me has the American Bar Association yet bestirred itself to say "ho-hum" or anything...
...negotiations, Hanoi has not budged from the position staked out by Ho Chi Minh in a letter to Johnson last February, when he categorically refused to consider talks until the U.S. "unconditionally" halted its bombing of the North and "all other acts of war." Until the 1968 presidential returns are in, Hanoi is unlikely to soften that stand...
...Cold-Blooded. Assuming that the variation had been similar in prehistoric animals, Ho turned to late Pleistocene epoch (10,000 to 200,000 years ago) fossil remains containing well-preserved collagen. Chemically analyzing the collagen in fossil specimens recovered from Los Angeles' famed La Brea tar pits, he applied his formula and calculated the temperatures of such extinct species as the browsing ground sloth, the dire wolf, the short-faced bear and the saber-toothed...
Paleontologist Ho's findings have already led him to the conclusion that Pleistocene mammals did not have substantially higher body temperatures-as many scientists believed-to protect them against the cold...
...Ho now plans to turn his attention to cold-blooded fossil animals, whose temperatures, unlike those of warmblooded creatures, varied with climatic changes. By using his collagen method to take their body temperatures, he believes, he can determine the approximate temperature of the prehistoric climate in which they lived...
