...respective world-views or the two authors have influenced their choice of terminology. I doubt, however, that the future hangs on such issues. Wars are not won by calling them "struggles for national liberation" or "struggles for national liberation" or "struggles against communist insurgency." In the long run, the logic of material conditions tends to win out. Thus far, natural selection theory represents our most systematic understanding of this logic. The theory's development depends upon our continuing efforts to test current models against factual data. Wilson's critics have set a poor example of how this can be done...
...glowing anyway. There are Spiro and Monette Pavlovich, who forged transcripts in order to stay on the prestige mill of Harvard graduate schools. These people are extremes, but they attracted, in this day and age, an inordinate amount of attention because they represented extensions, past the indistinct borders of logic, of impulses that are widely present in Harvard students.

Like it or not, the new synthesis may be the twentieth century's excuse for radical laissez faire and rigid status...

She never allowed emotion or philosophical doubt to cloud her devious conceptions or hinder the icy logic of their untanglings. Born Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller in Torquay, she was the daughter of a rich American and an English mother. Although gifted with a good singing voice, she abandoned a stage career because of her shyness. In 1914 she married a British airman, Colonel Archibald Christie, and plunged...
