...listen. An improved hand would be a boon to American culture. The Getty/Dubay instruction books show that the teaching of proper handwriting evokes children's innate sense of visual order and beauty. It gives children an eye for good design.

One coup was capturing on film a living coelacanth, a fish once thought to lave died out 70 million years ago.
