...relationship between faith and science can be vexing, but one way the Roman Catholic Church and mainstream Protestant denominations reconcile the two is to say they each deal with different spheres of knowledge and so are not in conflict. This is a sort of metaphysical version of Christ's admonition to render to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's, and it is a position that Pope John Paul II reaffirmed last week when he made a statement on evolution. "Consideration of the method used in diverse orders of knowledge allows for the concordance...
...serve in the military. After election, in typical Clintonesque indecisiveness, he pronounced his "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Clinton didn't come to a compromise where everybody got a little of what they wanted; rather, all Clinton's policy aimed to do was make sure that more mainstream America did not object to harshly while simultaneously telling liberals that he had attacked the problem.

The frequently unreported successes of the UN should also be remembered. It has been credited with the peaceful settlement of 172 regional conflicts since 1945. For every Bosnian quagmire or Somalian fiasco dominating headlines, there exist the examples of Cambodia's post-civil war transition to normalcy and South Africa's first universal election, both of which were coordinated by the UN. In fact, the UN has enabled free and fair...
