1. Peter Ustinov:

   Parents are the bones on which children sharpen their teeth.

2. David Burnham:

   The teeth suggest it’s a Tyrannosaurus rex; however, there is still more work to be done, because a young T. rex is so rare, there are only a few that have been found over the years, so it’s difficult to discern what are changes due to growth or if the differences in the bones reflect different species.

3. Elizabeth Warren:

   Make no bones about it: We need to defeatDonald Trump, but I think its important for our countrys sake and our future that the voters in this country are the ones who do that, and Ibelieve that we will.

4. Cary Woodruff:
