...into the European Union. In the U.S., the religious right saw its most enthusiastic repre sentative in the Senate, Rick Santorum, go down to defeat by a crushing 18 points. For the first time, a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage failed - in Arizona. State initiatives for embryonic-stem-cell research became a wedge issue for ... Democrats. Religion finally cut both ways in democratic discourse. For the first time since the evangelical revival began in the 1980s, too much rigidity began to cost politicians votes rather than win them more...

The HSCI will be one of the first Harvard institutions to move across the Charles River to Allston, according to Harvard’s public plans. It will be the centerpiece of what Hyman hopes to be a “vibrant and interdisciplinary” scientific...
...article on Pope Benedict XVI leaves one with the impression that the Pope is a moral leader of great stature. He is not. His stances on abortion, contraception and stem-cell research are deplorable and, because of his authority, extremely harmful to many innocent people. Since Islam shares many of his mistaken values, we should fear that he will use any successful contacts made during his visit to Turkey to expand the influence (and harm) of his moral mistakes.
