...varied refractions of the Imperial style. But Warren argues that the Greek dramatists and Roman poets created the very concept of free, responsible men that "in an imperfect, stumbling, and ragged way was to become more and more widely available." In the fullness of time, an elitist art helped spawn the rise of the common...
...supersedes a temporary one that he had ordered the Boston School Committee to put into effect last fall. That order led to school boycotts by whites, unruly demonstrations, occasional bloodshed and massive use of police.

There are European pigeons, which spread a form of meningitis and defile monuments and building ledges and the German carp, a "wonderfish" imported in the 1870s, which has displaced native game fish from lakes and rivers by eating their food and their spawn. New threats come from the exotic species that escaped from rare-animal or fish farms: the ill-tempered Asian walking catfish, the South American piranha and India's citrus fruit-eating red-whiskered bulbul -to mention just a few. They prove over and over again that most alien species...
