...evil forces which have seized control of the national party shall be cast out. The tides of that great party will flow like muddy water over the sands and rocks and be purified. The impurities of that party-Harry Truman and all his followers-will be deposited like sediment on the banks...
Reality at a Click. The kind of art developed in Renaissance Italy seemed to be evaporating toward the end of the 19th Century, and at the bottom of the cup lay merely the dry brown sediment of academic illustration. Moreover, the most skillful academicians were unable to compete with photography. In painting, the illusion of reality required the laborious methods of perspective and chiaroscuro.

This particular idea just isn't so, claims Fuel Technologist Walter Maxmilian Fuchs of Pennsylvania State College. The first step had to be taken by bacteria, for except near volcanoes there was never enough heat and pressure on the carboniferous vegetation to transform plants into coal...
