Big meteorite creates big mysteries 
---------------------------------------------
Scientists have discovered a beach ball-sized meteorite a half-mile below
a 
giant crater in South Africa. The 145-million-year-old meteorite has a 
chemical composition unlike any known meteorite. It is also an unusual
find 
because it was largely unaltered by the extreme heat from the impact.

"We recognize, however dimly, that greater efficiency, ease, and security
may come at a substantial price in freedom, that law and order can be a
doublethink version of oppression, that individual liberties surrendered,
for whatever good reason, are freedoms lost." - Walter Cronkite, preface
to the 1984 edition of George Orwell's _1984_.
