In the latest sci-fi development from the Gulf oil spill, scientists have found enormous oil plumes beneath the ocean's surface. With this, and last week's underwater footage of oil and gas gushing out of the ruptured well, it's apparent that BP's estimate of the amount of oil entering the Gulf each day is at once laughably and horrifyingly low.

  • Today in History: December 22, four shot by New York subway vigilante
    Denver Post, Sunday - 12/22/2024 - 04:00 AM

    Today is Sunday, Dec. 22, the 357th day of 2024. There are nine days left in the year. Today in history: On Dec. 22, 1984, New York City resident Bernhard Goetz shot and wounded four young Black men on a Manhattan subway, alleging they were about to rob him.
