...Agassi fight the good fight (he did, falling down two sets and a break before chipping away at Blake’s lead). And perhaps most of all, they wanted to see for themselves that Agassi, the recent subject of rampant retirement speculation, still had that glint in his eye, that staunch refusal to concede in his stride...
...relative or any other concerned citizen. As a last resort, some adult children feel compelled to report their own parents. (Six states allow anonymous reporting.) Some complain that their parents' doctors are too timid about intervention. Linda Bryant, an administrative assistant in Orlando, Fla., was incensed when an eye doctor told her 76-year-old father that he was fine to drive. "I wrote the doctor," she says, "that if and when the accident happened, I'd send the victims to his doorstep as his liability...
...Lonely Vigil, a book about Coastwatchers in the Solomons, historian Walter Lord describes how men - from plantation managers to accountants, gold miners to publicans - secreted themselves in the jungle and on mountaintops to keep an eye on virtually every move the Japanese made along the strategic waterway known as "The Slot," between Bougainville and Guadalcanal. Using long-range teleradios, the Coastwatchers were able to intercept Japanese communications and pass on real-time intelligence about supply runs, troop movements and air raids. As well, working with indigenous people like Gasa, the Coast-watchers charted shorelines, prepared landing beaches, provided guides through...
Mathematical arguments against evolution are equally misguided, says Martin Nowak, a Harvard professor of mathematics and evolutionary biology. "You cannot calculate the probability that an eye came about," he says. "We don't have the information to make this calculation." Nowak, who describes himself as a person of faith, sees no contradiction between Darwin's theory and belief in God. "Science does not produce any evidence against God," he observes. "Science and religion ask different questions...
...Designed the First Eye? The eye couldn't possibly be the product of accidental mutations, say Darwin's critics. Sure, a bird with sharper eyes might catch more prey and have more offspring, but where did the first eye come from? How could a process of gradual improvements produce a complex organ that needs all its parts-pinhole, lens, light-sensitive surface-in order to work? It's no accident, says Michael Behe, author of Darwin's Black Box, that the eye resembles a camera, which everybody instantly recognizes as a product someone designed. "If it looks, walks and quacks...
