...teaching of evolution is pushed out of the schools, says Kluger, ?information will be withheld from students and the long-range potential will be to crimp scientific development.? There may be another casualty: the enlightening possibility of reconciling the two realms. Science and religion may observe the same phenomena, but they ask different questions of the world they seek to explain. Besides, if one reads the creation in Genesis closely, isn?t there both a theological and an evolutionary progression to the events there described...
...have a reason for avoiding entanglement in "the pursuit." Responding to innocent flirtation or going after those who play hard to get may take a turn for the worse. Those "Rape Happens at Harvard" pins are pretty intimidating, and "caution" is definitely a new term in the dating phenomena. Fear of rejection is another hindrance in anyone's plan--maybe the object of your affection smiled at you today in the Yard, but more likely he or she was smiling at the person behind you. And the incentive for girls falls considerably when they remember one option: All those nights...

Unexplained physical phenomena could also be the culprits. Some say it takes more energy to chew and digest celery than one gets from eating it; what if one ingredient had negative caloric value? A celery stick topped with a mound of lard would have more calories from fat than it would total calories, and a ratio above 100 percent would be the natural result. Therefore, one should seek out foods with higher calories-from-fat ratios, since they are more likely to be made with these calorie-reducing ingredients...
...dozen space scientists gathered to consider a new generation of so-called superpressure balloons. Floating to the very edge of the earth's atmosphere, these gossamer giants (as tall as 60-story buildings) will remain aloft up to 100 days. That's enough time to look for such elusive phenomena as planets in other solar systems, black holes and remnants of the Big Bang. Says astrophysicist Josh Grindlay, leader of a Harvard-Smithsonian group that uses balloons to map distant X-ray sources: "For some science, they're going to give the shuttle or space station...
