Although the Pope did not specifically refer to Darwin or evolutionary biology, his words are an active step towards promoting the coexistence of scientific evidence and religious faith...
...After many hours of talking with Hungarian friends about their country's recent history, I began to understand just how complicated--and at times heartbreaking--was their relation to the past, including the heroic days of October 1956. In the years preceding and immediately following "the Change" (as Hungarians refer to 1989), October 1956 functioned as a single unifying symbol to all those who opposed the communist regime.

There is something invaluable and indescribable about holding the actual product in your hand (and having it not weigh seventy-five pounds), whipping it out in the middle of the day, on a train ride or a bus ride or to refer to it, cutting an article out when you think it has some certain value to it, or saving it (long enough until it gets crinkly and really yellow) to show your children some of the most amazing events of our time and how the newspapers, how journalists recorded...

Like all good negotiators, Hurwitz knows when to ask for more, and the Greens are certain he will. They now refer sarcastically to the preserved tracts as a tree museum...
