...match his democratic temper. Anyway, the spontaneous mourning is a fitting tribute to the way Irwin lived and a gut reaction to the shock of his early departure. No longer will he carry the top weight. The next Australian symbol, whenever one emerges, will find Irwin a singular act to follow...
...Evolution appears to be very much on the pontiff's mind. It is a "natural selection" of its own that this was the singular subject chosen by the Pope and his disciples for three days of lectures and discussion. Some conservative Catholics do indeed have growing doubts about the teaching of Darwin, which they say is now used to explain the very meaning of human existence. The issue of evolution has been on this pope's agenda from Day One, as Benedict proclaimed at his installation mass: "We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution. Each...
...Majorcan's singular ability to disrupt Federer's dominance is the spark that could ignite a long-term duel. Federer is universally recognized as one of history's all-time greats, perhaps the greatest, yet he has dropped six of his eight matches against Nadal.

Local funeral directors wandering through the exhibit examine...
...very fact that parts of Iraq remain on the edge of chaos after three years of fighting and the deaths of more than 2,500 Americans are incontrovertible evidence of how the Administration's miscalculations have come back to haunt it. Toppling Saddam was to be the singular demonstration of the Bush Doctrine, a quick and decisive strike against tyranny in the heart of the Middle East. It would also send a message to the rest of the world's malefactors, including Iran and North Korea, to think twice about testing the U.S.'s patience with regimes bent on acquiring...
