No bone left unturned
(Local News ~ 03/05/06)
GLENALLEN, Mo. -- Even the air smells 70 million years old. Rich, earthen. Preserved alongside the remnants of long-extinct animals that once breathed it. Millions of years' worth of sediment, broken bone and fossils are buried in a 5-foot-deep hole in remote Bollinger County...

Car auction draws dealers and dreamers
(Local News ~ 03/05/06)
Car styles have changed since the 1940 Mercury with a flathead V-8 engine first took to the road. Rounded fenders gave way to sharp, tall tailfins in the 1950s. Muscle cars dominated the 1960s and 1970s. And for some, Saturday's classic car auction at the Show Me Center was a chance to once again sit at the wheel of a car they dreamed of owning new. For others, it was a chance to make money. But for everyone, it was expensive...
