The one I worked on was not nearly so exciting; an excavation of a Native American site beside the Delaware river.

I have a feeling that there is a lot to be done that way here. There is a set of islands midway between Luzon and Taiwan; there are old stone forts on many high points, which are believed to antedate the current residents of the islands. Very little work has been done, but I leave it to the professionals; I'll just walk around and look.

Problem here is that everyone assumes you're after buried treasure left behind by the Japanese.

Here is a cancer breakthrough: Scientists have created cancer-resistant mice by deleting certain genes ? an advance that could lead to new drugs for wiping out tumors in people. The genes, Id1 and Id3, are vital for the development of blood vessels that provide nourishment to tumors, in a process called angiogenesis. Without the blood supply, the tumor shrinks and dies.
