...Really one of the most exciting things that is happening today is the application of the natural sciences to the problem of our human past,” he said. “Where do we come from...
...think the official Election Commission e-mail announcing the debate (“Come early to make sure you get a seat!”) was meant to be funny, but I’m sure to the 30 people that showed up, it was hilarious. The problem is not, however, that attendance was low, or that this year only 2,181 people voted in the UC presidential election, the lowest turnout in the Council’s recorded history.

This fall, the Old Guard of the Christian right serially christened their preferred candidates. The Rev. Pat Robertson went for Giuliani; the National Right to Life Committee came out for Thompson; Bob Jones III and Paul Weyrich endorsed Romney. Few believed that Huckabee, the ordained Southern Baptist who actually seemed to be one of them, could win. And then, lo and behold, rank...
