...That's a bold statement. It's also utterly specious. As every high-school biology student knows, evolution is neither a tidy nor quick process. Even if Clark could somehow prove that prosperity is hereditary - survival of the richest, he terms it - it doesn't follow that genetics, rather than geography or blind luck, caused Europe to industrialize before the rest of the world. Isn't it just as likely that innovations such as the steam engine, and the exploitation of its colonies, made England wealthy? And Clark's social Darwinism doesn't explain why equally stable and sophisticated societies...
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's campaign said he had a scheduling conflict with the proposed Republican Univision debate, but his campaign is in "regular contact with Univision about other opportunities in the future," said Alex Burgos, who handles Hispanic outreach for Romney. Burgos was quick to note that Romney was the first candidate from either party to run Spanish-language ads, is the only G.O.P. candidate with an Hispanic steering committee and has an extensive Spanish-language website.

With the men’s and women’s cross country teams welcoming a total of 27 freshmen, Harvard wasted no time in getting experience for the newcomers on Friday at Boston University, with the women downing Manhattan and Marist and the men defeating Manhattan and tying the Terriers. On the women’s side, the Crimson was paced by a pair of freshmen who placed ninth and 10th in the overall field. Thea Lee finished in 19:45 and Eliza Ives crossed...
