Kudos to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for donating unwanted fur coats to the homeless [Jan. 24]. I wish I could say I have never worn fur, but I have a rabbit-fur coat hanging in the back of my closet from my more selfish days. I'm going to send it to PETA. I can't bring the animals back, but I can help provide a little warmth to people in desperate need...

The most widely used avalanche-protection technology is a radio transceiver worn on the body that sends out signals that can be picked up from above the snow. But these beacons only increase survival rates by about...
...that decision does not sit well with a lot of Americans. So at a time when religious faith is increasingly worn on public sleeves--most prominently that of the President--a dispute that dates back to the celebrated 1925 Scopes "Monkey Trial" is being replayed around the country in legislatures, courts, school-board meetings and parent-teacher conferences. School administrators in rural Dover, Pa., visited biology classes last week to read a declaration proclaiming, among other things, that "Darwin's theory [of evolution] ... is a theory, not a fact." And in suburban Cobb County, Ga., officials pasted stickers on biology...
