President George Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney and Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld were all honoured . One of the entomologists said he admired all three men for "having the courage of their convictions" and standing up for freedom and democracy . The three beetles who now bear their names are among 65 newly discovered species which feed on mould . " Now I am sure you all wanted to know about that . . .	TonyF (246)
