...opportunity to teach evolution in a new way. LeVake is a Fundamentalist Christian, but his biology lesson plan doesn't include the word God or creationism. All he asks is that as a scientist, he be allowed to let students know about some of the holes in Darwin's theory...
...besides, saying I was from Kansas, especially after the Kansas State Board of Education's decision on evolution, was just asking for trouble. Responses varied from, "Oh, so you're from that place that doesn't believe in Darwin" to the standard, "What's it like to milk...
...first year friendships were cemented by a more indigenous delicacy. An entryway-mate brought over Darwin's buttercreams one afternoon. We broke off tiny pieces together, licked around the edges of the edges to scoop up the filling with the points of our tongues. The doughy chocolate cookies (almost very thin brownies) sandwich four major types of buttercream: raspberry, mocha, peanut butter and mint. Thick as icing, this cookie filling makes Oreo cream taste like Olestra. Since then, I've learned that the cookies come chilled but are better a little warm. They last longer that way; you can break...
...mind that "Sanitation" was probably a rushed creation, most likely developed after the Sensation spectacle of last December. But this does not excuse "Sanitation" as a work of art. Unlike Haacke's earlier works, there is no consideration for ecology; every object in "Sanitation" seems unjustifiably placed, like Darwin without niche theory. Never do the rectilinear and exclusionary lines formulate a cohesive composition. All in all, the composition is balanced to the point of fragmentation, making it difficult to view the exhibit as a whole. The only exception to the excess of orthogonality is Haacke's diagonal placement...
Following in Darwin's wake won't transform every child into a genius, but it may arouse a lifelong passion to understand the natural world. And the 10-day Quito and Galapagos Islands Cruise, with lecturers from WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY, WELLESLEY COLLEGE and MISS PORTER'S SCHOOL, is designed to awaken the scientist that lurks in everyone. The journey (cost: $3,150 to $5,950; call 800-221-1944 for more information) begins July 31 with three days in Quito, where travelers eat lunch in a restaurant built on the edge of a volcanic crater, straddle the equator at the Middle...
