It may almost be too late, but last Friday's Reader (July 2nd) has a lengthy cover article written by an LTH subscriber, M'th'su.
Who would have thunk that an umpteen page article on fossils, and the passionate downstate eccentrics who collect them, could be such a good read. Reminded me of a John McPhee piece one might have found in the N.Yer. It was absolutely fascinating, and I might even 'a been learned some.
