...wonder Michael Bidwill is all smiles as he gives a personal tour of the red-carpeted locker room and the carefully manicured, natural-grass playing field. ("It's Tifway 419," he points out.) Even though the team has been a loser on the field, it has been a winner on the books; it's difficult to lose money in the NFL. The $50,000 investment made by Michael's grandfather in 1933 has mushroomed into a franchise worth more than $700 million today.

...grand epic of modern science is to have found... the wonder of the origin of life," he said sardonically. Sch?nborn said this attitude has inherent implication in public policy at both ends of life, from assisted fertility to euthanasia. And so like the Pope himself, Sch?nborn is an ally in the ID battle, as much for his theological firepower as for his institutional muscle. "This is a myth that has become history," he said of the findings of the British naturalist. This is indeed stronger language than the pope has ever used. Maybe, after all, we could at least call...
