...made famous by Ferris Bueller, however, quickly wades into waters far too deep for him. He makes all the usual mistakes nonscientists make whenever they try to take down evolution, asking, for example, how something as complex as a living cell could have possibly arisen whole from the earth's primordial soup. The answer is it couldn't--and it didn't. Organic chemicals needed eons of stirring and slow cooking before they could produce compounds that could begin to lead to a living thing. More dishonestly, Stein employs the common dodge of enumerating all the admittedly unanswered questions...
...Penn's outside work does not represent the first time that this kind of conflict has arisen in a presidential campaign. In 2000, for instance, Al Gore drew fire over the fact that a key aide, Carter Eskew, had done work on a tobacco industry advertising campaign that was aimed at undermining the Clinton Administration's tobacco settlement deal.

Like Princeton, Harvard has drawn up an environmentally-conscious building plan for Allston and is attempting to address a lack of student social and residential space on campus. But unlike Harvard?...
...bombings are decried for the innocent lives lost; Friday sermons promote the sanctity of life in half-hearted efforts to shame the perpetrators. But rarely is there outright condemnation, and never has a movement equal in force and influence arisen to counter the extremists. Why don't the moderates stand up? That's a question posed not just in Pakistan but across the Muslim world and indeed in the West. In Pakistan, the battle for the soul of Islam will determine the country's place in the world: whether it can take the lead as a modern Muslim nation...
