August Letters to Discover Magazine: Author Information

Only two letter writers from the August issue had any substantial findings from the search engines. The most interesting was Stephen Czerkas. In his letter, he disputes an article's claim (see below) that dromaeosaurs could not fly. This is followed by a biting reply from Mark Norell of the American Museum of Natural History. Czerkas has acheived greater noteriety for a couple of other controversial issues. The Wikipedia article on the forged fossil-Archeoraptor and the Nature article give the best overview of these subjects.
