...long tentacles, leaving it behind on the hook that had impaled it. Giant squids may not be the most likable of creatures, but do they deserve such treatment? I think I would be somewhat "active and aggressive" too if I were forced to tear off my own limb while scientists sat back, casually making their observations. Fergus Mahon Kielce, Poland

...usually an uphill battle. Nobel-worthy research can be impenetrable to a lay audience, and the men and women doing it tend to be shy and retiring. Not so these two. Warren, known for his absolute loyalty to the bolo tie, wasn?t afraid to go out on a limb for an improbable idea. Back in 1979, Warren, who was then working at Royal Perth Hospital, observed a spiral bacteria growing in the stomachs of people with gastritis, or inflammation of the stomach. He became the butt of jokes among his colleagues, who knew-it was right there...
...giant with a taste for prawns impaled itself on the hook. For the next four hours the camera clicked while the squid struggled to free itself, swimming back and forth until one of its 5.5-m-long tentacles finally tore off its body. The team hauled the still-moving limb to the surface, where they examined it. (Disappointingly, the team passed on eating it?Mori, who had previously sampled a dead giant squid, dismisses it as "extremely salty and bitter.") The nearly 600 images taken of the giant squid show a creature far more aggressive and active than many scientists...
...before--in a bind that is, and maybe even in another life. On location in the Peruvian Andes, Shirley MacLaine, 51, found herself and her script embroiled in an intercultural tussle involving extraterrestrials and ancient monuments. (No, Steven Spielberg is not the producer.) The project is Out on a Limb, a five-hour ABC mini-series for November based on her 1983 autobiography of the same title. Citing passages where MacLaine suggests that Machu Picchu and the giant desert drawings known as the Nazca Lines were made by visitors from outer space rather than by the Peruvians, the National Institute...
