Our civilization has lost one of its giants with the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall. One of the great primatologists with her exhaustive study of chimpanzees, she became even better known for her conservatorship of the natural world. About her …
At left is another example of a trend within American society that will either: 1) Remain indefinitely, and expand to become an even more vicious force on our society than it already is, or 2) Retreat to a point that …
