Darwin, they worry, has become "Darwinism" - natural science transformed into dogmatic philosophy. Still, the heart of the battle in the U.S. is not about theology or philosophy. It's about location.

The quest for fame reaches an early, flickering peak when 50 freshmen of whom no one but a few old-school friends have ever heard vie for the votes of an apathetic class to make the Union or Jubilee committees. An astonishingly large percentage of each class cannot tell you who the current football captain is, and at least an equally large percentage do not know the difference between a Junior...
