Scared of Spanish

By Felipe Maya · Thursday, Jan. 20,2005 11:05 p.m.

Apparently, some people think the growing Latino population in the United States is going to make Spanish the most-spoken language in the country. I bet you're not buying any of this.

Devolving textbooks

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Jan. 20,2005 10:59 p.m.

There's no question about it: Evolution always proves to be a sticky subject. Controversial stickers on high school biology textbooks in Cobb County, Ga., reminded teachers and students that "(t)his textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered."
