...everywhere this year. In a convergence of anniversaries, Darwin would have turned 200 years old on Feb. 12, and his landmark book, On the Origin of Species, turns 150 on Nov. 24. There will be documentaries, lectures, conferences and museum exhibits. Darwin-themed blogs are being launched, and a cartload of Darwin-related books are being published. A replica of H.M.S. Beagle, the ship that carried Darwin around the world, will retrace his path. This January, Stanford University let a group of 90 people do likewise - albeit more comfortably, on a private Boeing...

He was ultimately responsible for nine such...

Four men were killed, including the 53-year-old founder of the kibbutz, and four others wounded. Three hours later, the Israeli army opened up with light machine-gun fire on the Jordanian side of the valley. The Jordanians fired back, and the battle was on. Israeli artillery pounded an evacuated village, and Jordanian 155-mm. Long Toms zeroed in on seven kibbutzim...
...York, Researcher Marjorie Burns funneled their vast findings and volumes of book larnin' by the supermarket cartload (see cut) into Education Editor Bruce Barton Jr.'s office for this week's story on The First R. After his intensive cramming, Barton sent a revision of the first draft of his story to Senior Editor Hillis Mills with a note: "I have redoosed pages 3 to 7 to too pages. I hop you like it. Everything reads much quikker . . . Sory I cauzed all this troubel. I find that suddenly my abiloty to spel and right has desserted...
