Newsweek is running a cover story on dinosaurs this week and is holding 
a Live Talk on Thursday, June 23 at 12 p.m. EDT.  I think it would be 
excellent if DMLers were to send probing questions.

Live Talk: Dino-Might!
Join NEWSWEEK?s Jerry Adler for a Live Talk on Thursday, June 23, at 
noon ET, on the latest dinosaur discoveries and research.WEB EXCLUSIVE

A revolution is underway. Skeletons that have stood mutely for years 
are yielding their secrets to dinosaur researchers armed with CT scans, 
supercomputers and sheer ingenuity. A biologist dissolves the mineral 
matrix in a dinosaur bone, and finds, amazingly, evidence of blood 
vessels and even corpuscles. The speed of Tyrannosaurus, long a topic 
of fervent guesswork, is now being calculated by the algorithms of 
biomechanics. Engineers have radically revised our view of how the 
giant long-necked sauropods stood and walked. Dinosaur dioramas in 
museums are sprouting feathers--unsuspected just a decade ago--as 
evidence accumulates for the close relationship of dinosaurs with 
birds. The discoveries just keep coming. Join NEWSWEEK's Jerry Adler, 
who wrote this week's cover story on dinosaurs, for a Live Talk on 
Thursday, June 23, at noon ET, about the exciting gifts the Jurassic 
Period keeps giving.
