Defenders of Wildlife sue the U S Fish and Wildlife Service over conflicting rules allowing half hour before sunrise hunting with diverse duck species and declining populations cited. Republicans expect 20,000 at Kansas City convention with no Nixon or Agnew family invitations. Nixon absent since 1948, Agnew not invited amid VIP talks.

Senate liberalizes gifts estate tax and backs student athlete breaks
The Senate moved toward final passage of a broad tax revision bill, liberalizing gift and estate taxes and approving new tax credits for college tuition and Olympic athletes. It would raise the estate tax exemption and offer credits for child care, but faces House opposition and a conference committee. The measure includes a $500 tax credit for Olympic athletes and nondeductible competition costs, and expands tax benefits while tightening some shelter rules.

Missing link skull found near Lake Ndutu in Tanzania
A Tanzania excavator uncovered a skull in Ndutu that Nature cites as a possible missing link between Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. Researchers say it shows both humanlike and erectus traits and may prompt a new subspecies designation after full study. Additional finds in Tanzania date fossils to over 3.5 million years ago, broadening insight into human evolution.
