SNIPPET OF THE DAY – AT 8:09 A.M. ET:  This just in, from The Scotsman:

A TEAM of scientists claims to have positively identified an embalmed head, presumed lost in the chaos of the French Revolution, as that of King Henri IV of France who was assassinated in 1610.  The head was apparently lost after revolutionaries desecrated the graves of French kings in the royal basilica of Saint-Denis near Paris in 1793.

I was beginning to fear that we'd never find out.  This should put at ease the thousands of you who've written to us about this every day.
