...recent op-ed by Loui Itoh (“Selling our Souls to the Right,” Nov. 5) makes following two points. Itoh states: (1) “Religion is less accountable to logic” and also (2) “Wielding religion as a political tool is unacceptable and downright wrong.” By saying this, Itoh unwittingly explains why those of faith feel maligned and rejected by the Democratic Party. I am a secularist and have no religious faith, but feel others are given the right under the constitution to express their religious faith...
...fact, the perfect kind of question for test driving a brand-new tool that Gruhl and his colleagues at the storied IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, Calif., have developed. The new tool, called WebFountain, is a next-generation search technology that lets users ask specific questions, in complete sentences--something today's search engines have trouble handling. Powered by one of the world's fastest supercomputers, WebFountain can whittle down billions of pages of unstructured data from the entire Web in real time, rapidly retrieving and analyzing only the most relevant pages. Geared for corporate applications, WebFountain spots...
...perfect tool. As a 10th-grader, Todd Rosenbaum, now a junior at the University of Virginia, took a biology course that met just twice a week and offered no labs, but he crammed so successfully for the AP exam that he earned a 5 (tops on AP's 5-point scale). That score allowed the high school valedictorian to skip introductory biology at the university, but he found himself woefully unprepared for an upper-level course. "Pretty much as soon as I got in, I realized that there was no way I'd survive," says Rosenbaum. He withdrew from...

The idea that each person should be entitled to his or her own judgment of who to vote for is demolished when religious leaders threaten the fires of Hell—how can anyone argue with that? You can always find conflicting political “advice” from non-religious sources, but by nature you can’t argue the facts against faith. Religion is simply less accountable to logic. The alliance, formalized or not, between God and a particular political party should...
...fact, Kerry seems the more conservative figure. In the debates, he was calmer, cooler and less prone to rapid personality shifts. It was Bush who seemed like the fidgety usurper. But style reflects substance. It's Bush who has radically recast the G.O.P. as a Big Government, religiously motivated tool for transforming the world. Kerry has merely campaigned on a return to Clinton-era centrism in domestic policy and old-Republican realism in foreign policy...
