Newspaper articles

Newspaper articles are the ephemera of the situation at LANL now, the husks left by a moving beast.

The reporters work hard and are doing as well as they can, but the important question seems to be 'What organism would generate the events that newspapers report?"

The analogy that seems apt is "If we could see the scat, the destruction, the feeding behavior, etc. of a herd of elephants, what could we say about the shape and functioning of the elephant or the herd if we could never actually see an elephant or a herd of elephants?"
