Icy blast from the past

[Dan Chure <danchure@easilink.com>]

For your amusement.  I recently bought a used paleo monograph, and 
tucked inside was a small news clipping from The Telegraph, dated 
11/25/30, which reads as follows:

"CARCASS OF PREHISTORIC REPTILE FOUND IN GLACIER.
Cordova, Alaska, Nov 25 (AP).
Reports received from Valdez today said the carcass of a giant 
lizardlike creature, with fur in perfect condition, had been found on 
Glacier Island near there. The strange creature, reported to be 42 feet 
long, including a tail measuring 16 feet, was believed to have been 
preserved since prehistoric times by being encased in ice in the upper 
reaches of the Columbia Glacier.  The ice was believed to have worked 
its way gradually to the area.  The head was reported to be six feet 
long and the body twenty feet in length."

To me the real question is why does the government and scientific 
community continue to hide and suppress such discoveries?
