		<description><![CDATA[The subjects of evolution and creation are explosive ones, not only because of their scientific implications, but for their social and political ones as well.  That&#8217;s been the case since Darwin first set forth the theory.   It is certainly true today; for all of their protestations about the desire to be &#8220;scientific,&#8221; implementing whatever can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although it&#8217;s a deadly serious subject, there&#8217;s an enormous amount of irony in this:
The top U.S. diplomat in Pakistan says the Obama administration does  not know how many Americans might have disappeared overseas to train  with al-Qaida or other terrorist groups.
The number is not thought to be large, but Ambassador to Pakistan  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Doesn&#8217;t look that way:
Increasingly, senior administration officials shrug when you mention  the November mid-term elections.  “We did all we could,” and “it’s not  our fault” is the line; their point being that if jobs (miraculously at  this point) come back quickly, the Democrats have a fighting chance –  but not otherwise.

We know it’s bad practice to bid low just to stay in business and keep  working. A contractor can go bust if the job goes bad, profits don’t  materialize, and bankers desert the firm. But keeping people employed [...]]]></description>

Critics of the teaching of evolution in the nation’s classrooms are gaining ground in some states by linking the issue to global warming, arguing that dissenting views on both scientific subjects should be taught in public schools.

There&#8217;s been a sharp drop in the percentage of America&#8217;s children  being bullied or beaten up by their peers, according to a new national  survey by experts who believe anti-bullying programs are having an  impact.
The study, funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, found that the  [...]]]></description>

I-3-4.  Modern Age
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, a long hiatus in coastal technology and engineering prevailed throughout most of the European world with a few exceptions.  Little is recorded on civil engineering achievements during the Dark and Middle Ages.  The threat of attack [...]]]></description>
