Today photos of Saturn are scintillating and magnificent. Then I go to emails. I have subscribed to the magazine since 1959: and read it cover to cover. So I love the topic you brought up, as well as that fascinating video from a few days back on the DominicanREpublic critter that looks like an opossum.

That's quite a sentence there, I would not want to have to parse it, but I'd love to be on that safari.
