Just to make sure the new people in the crowd are aware, Jason is
alluding to work that was published earlier this year (watch the
spelling of the name, Jason!):

Ruben, J. 1995.  The evolution of endothermy in mammals and birds:  From
     physiology to fossils.  ANNUAL REVIEW OF PHYSIOLGY, 57:69-95.

I think that article is a must-read for anyone wishing to argue pro or
con about dinosaurian endothermy.
