...SHUs Perry calls the rocoto pepper, at left, a "modern variety" of the Capsicum pubescens identified by her team. The ancient chilies likely spiced up maize and root stew but were probably no hotter than cayenne peppers...

Twentieth century novels can only be understood as the refinement of a literary genre that reaches back to Latin novels. The conflict between intelligent design and evolution does not make sense without an understanding of how Darwin’s system is a radical departure from the Aristotelian notion in which each species is a form of perfection in itself. The government of the United States cannot be understood...
