Ward was preceded on the stand by Dr. Joseph Kennedy Jr., a neonatologist--a scientist dealing with newborn children under 28 days...
Great Presidents who are still popular on the day they leave office make a very short list. Often it is not until much later that the public retroactively admires men like Lincoln and Truman, who were widely condemned by their contemporaries. The British political scientist Harold Laski had a relaxed theory about the elasticity of the U.S. presidency and the kind of Presidents accordingly to be sought. In times of crisis, as in the wartime presidencies of Lincoln, Wilson and Roosevelt, Presidents uneasily wielded the powers of dictators; authority that had been skillfully diffused throughout Government was concentrated...

Even more amazing, the folks who inhabit the valley are Vikings, descendants of the old explorers, who live, work and fight just as their forebears did. They also believe that the searchers are the vanguard of marauding hordes who will destroy their little kingdom. In this...
