Lights, crime, and death

Something which sounds cool: 360 Degrees of Times Square on New Year's Eve. From the NYT Circuits column (non-web edition).

"What, or even who, killed humankind's nearest relatives, the Neanderthals who once roamed Europe before dying out almost 30,000 years ago?" If my beginning Anthro class hadn't been taught in an auditorium to 500 of us, I might have stuck with it. Then I could have been an author of this new study which theorizes about the answer to that question.

I have no particular memories of Captain Kangaroo, who died recently, but here's an extraordinary obituary of the man from someone who worked with him.
