A Discovery

The scientists have confirmed it:  the bones under the parking lot in Leicester are indeed those of King Richard III!  I remember when the scientists excavated and were hopeful they'd solved the mystery, and with DNA, as well as corroborating evidence of the curved spine of the skeleton, the age, the protein-rich diet of a wealthy man, the skull wounds from battle, the date of the bones, the Greyfriars priory location confirmed by an historian--it's all mentioned in the NYTimes article.  I'll be equally fascinated to see the re-burial of the bones in Leicester Cathedral next year, as befits an English monarch, albeit a much-maligned and disputed one.
