...individual responsibility to war; the One God became the witness to every killing, the unerring judge of every motive. The basic Old Testament rules of warfare were laid down in Deuteronomy. Enemies within Israel were to be wiped out, and their cities razed, with the exception of the fruit trees. Cities outside Israel's borders were permitted to become tributaries. If they refused, the Bible permitted the killing only of the men -the women and children had to be taken as slaves. The Jews were also prohibited from fighting on the Sabbath...
There was man, of course. Chimpanzees used rocks to break open hard-shelled food, sticks to feed on termites and ants, and leaves for wiping their bodies and drinking. A gorilla had been seen pulling fruit to within its grasp by means of a crooked branch. The sea otter used rocks for opening shellfish. And Galapagos woodpecker finches probed insects from holes with short twigs...
Pumpkins & Artichokes. A reminder that the birth of Christ has fruitfulness for one of its main themes is The Holy Family, a collaboration between Jan Bruegel ("the Velvet Bruegel," to distinguish him from his father, Pieter) and a virtually anonymous fellow Fleming, Pieter van Avont.

Student contact with local attorneys, city government agencies and courts is almost non-existent. Experimentation -- innovation -- is left for the most part to other law schools, notably Stanford and Yale...
Alarmed by a continuing drought that is endangering their crops, citrus growers in southern Israel have asked the government to allocate more water for irrigation. But water is in short supply throughout the country, and the government is not likely to give more than mere sympathy. Nor can the fruit farmers expect much of a break in the weather. Israeli Meteorologist Leo Krown has predicted that through January, local rainfall will be below normal -and the Brooklyn-born scientist speaks with authority. In each of the past 16 years, he reports in the Journal of Applied Meteorology, his new method...
