Taking a Stand
A gala fundraiser last week for the new exhibit on Charles Darwin at the American Museum of Natural History evolved into something of a rally against President Bush's preferred theory of intelligent design, according to George Rush and Joanna Molloy of Tribune Media Services.
"This is a time when those of us who care about science and Darwin have to take a stand," museum patron Tom Brokaw told the black-tied and bejeweled attendees... Clearly aware that Bush favors teaching creationism alongside evolution in science classes, the museum's patrons erupted in applause.
