 Scientists find missing link between the whale and its closest relative, the hippo
A group of four-footed mammals that flourished worldwide for 40 million years and then died out in the ice ages is the missing link between the whale and its not-so-obvious nearest relative, the hippopotamus.
The conclusion by University of California, Berkeley, post-doctoral fellow Jean-Renaud Boisserie and his French colleagues finally puts to rest the long-standing notion that the hippo is actually related to the pig or to its close relative, the South American peccary.
Boisserie and his colleagues conducted a phylogenetic analysis of new and previous hippo, whale and anthracothere fossils and were able to argue persuasively that anthracotheres are the missing link between hippos and cetaceans.

 100,000 Dead—or 8,000 - How many Iraqi civilians have died as a result of the war? By Fred Kaplan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
It means that the authors are 95 percent confident that the war-caused deaths totaled some number between 8,000 and 194,000.
You would say that this is a useless poll and that something must have gone terribly wrong with the sampling.
The IBC estimates that between 14,181 and 16,312 Iraqi civilians have died as a result of the war—about half of them since the battlefield phase of the war ended last May. The group also notes that these figures are probably on the low side, since some deaths must have taken place outside the media's purview.

 Language Corner: Between/In Between; Call/Call Up; In Line/On Line
And yet — the "in" doesn't do any real harm, and may just add a sense of precision or specificity lacking in an unaccompanied "between" (just as "in there, up there" and so on can be more informative than a mere "there").
And unlike the single word "between," "in between" sounds natural standing on its own: the fighters charged each other, and the referee was caught in between.
