Greatest title of all time

Sandy Levinson

The Sept. 1, 2006 issue of Science (p. 1214) includes among its articles what has to be one of the greatest titles of all time:

PLUTO:
Underworld Character Kicked Out of Planetary Family





Unfortunately, one can't simply download the article, but it is very much worth reading with regard to the disputed criteria for counting something as a "planet." As Mark Graber earlier suggested, it is illuminating to confront the fact that there is, at least among scientists, no undisputed "fact of the matter" as to the criteria.
