[Sankar Chatterjee] presented his latest findings on Shiva to the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Portland, Ore., on Oct. 18. He makes a compelling case, identifying an underwater mountain called Bombay High, off the coast of Mumbai, that formed right at the time of the dinosaur extinction. This mountain measures three miles from sea bed to peak, and is surrounded by Shiva's crater rim. Chatterjee's analysis shows that it formed from a sudden upwelling of magma that destroyed the Earth's crust in the area and pushed the mountain upward in a hurry. He argues that no force other than the rebound from an impact could have produced this kind of vertical uplift so quickly. And the blow that caused it would surely have been powerful enough to smash ecosystems around the...

Bayou of Pigs is a terrific account of what a motley crew of n'er-do-wells, ex-Klansmen, goofballs, anti-Communist zealots and we're-only-it-for-the-money rapscallions might have pulled off, if only they'd have shut their gobs.

The ATF christened their file on the conspirators Bayou of Pigs, a wry Louisiana take on the infamous failed 1961 CIA-backed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. Everything he knew about being a mercenary he gleaned from reading thriller writer Frederick Forsyth's 1974 bestseller The Dogs of War (about a mercenary-led coup in a fict...

ZURICH, Switzerland -- Turkey and Armenia have signed a landmark agreement to establish diplomatic relations and open their sealed border after a century of enmity, as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton helped the two sides clear a last-minute snag. French soldiers successfully defended two fishing boats from capture by pirates in the Indian Ocean, and 11 men suspected of involvement in the failed attack were pursued at sea and captured, officials said. After French soldiers chased away the pirates, the coast guard of the Seychelles archipelago, south of where the attack took place, chased the assailants. The coast guard captured two boats -- a small craft with eight men aboard and a larger ship carrying three that was the pirates' suspected mother ship, said Jacqueline Sher...
