Even the ostensibly non-religious--or those who are privately religious but feel that religion has no place in politics--still play the "God card," as evidenced by President Clinton's well-choreographed visits to church (arm-in-arm with Hillary) whenever he finds himself in yet another crisis.

It will also carry a microphone to record for the first time the sound of the Martian wind. More important, the ship will be equipped with a robotic arm and scoop, much like the arms carried aboard the Viking landers in the 1970s.

But now they broke into what Jack Miles, in his book God: A Biography, calls...
...topmost branches of a ceiba tree in the rain forest in Suriname, the former Dutch Guyana, north of Brazil. Thick-furred, with a red face, the monkey moves by sprawling out and brachiating from branch to branch through the high forest canopy; its long, prehensile tail functions as an arm.
