of Geophysics and Planetary Physics).

Long-lost
wave report sinks asteroid impact theory
Nature, February 13 --The Handbook
of Explosion-Generated Water Waves was completed in 1968 at
the request of the US Office of Naval Research by William
Van Dorn of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography
in La Jolla, California. But it was not entered into an academic
library catalogue until March 2002, when Scripps' library did
so as part of a project to record old technical reports.

San Diego Union Tribune, Feb. 13 –
A story yesterday about a protest regarding the use and killing
of dogs by first-year UCSD medical students
incorrectly said the university’s curriculum committee
declined to take up the issue. In fact, the committee, after
discussing the issue at length, endorsed the use of dogs in
teaching labs and refused to consider the petition from doctors
to end the practice.
