Meat of the issue - Letters - Letter to the Editor

Science News, Nov 16, 2002

"Veggie Bites: Fossil suggests carnivorous dinosaurs begat vegetarian kin" (SN: 9/21/02, p. 179) is surely wrong in stating that the honey badger shuns meat. It aggressively attacks snakes and small mammals, as well as invades bees' nests for honey.

I was looking at the picture of the animal's skull and wondering how large it is. There's no scale for reference, so I can't tell if it's the size of a Tyrannosaurus rex skull or a shrew skull.

Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
