During this time, a national bank was controversial because people had different opinions about what powers the national government should have. Alexander Hamilton believed that the national government had the power to create a new national bank. Thomas Jefferson believed that the national government did not have such a power." 01-06

  9. -Editorial: A Nation of Christians Is Not a Christian Nation (New York Times - Meacham)
      "In an interview with Beliefnet.com last weekend, Mr. McCain repeated what is an article of faith among many American evangelicals: 'the Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation.' "

      However, "the only acknowledgment of God in the original Constitution is a utilitarian one: the document is dated 'in the year of our Lord 1787.' Even the religion clause of the First Amendment is framed dryly and without reference to any particular faith. The Connecticut ratifying convention debated rewriting the preamble to take note of God’s authority, but the effort failed."

      "Thomas Jefferson said that his bill for religious liberty in Virginia was 'meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and the Mahometan, the Hindu, and infidel of every denomination.' When George Washington was inaugurated in New York in April 1789, Gershom Seixas, the hazan of Shearith Israel, was listed among the city’s clergymen (there were 14 in New York at the time) — a sign of acceptance and respect. The next year, Washington wrote the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, R.I., saying, 'happily the government of the United States ... gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance. ... Everyone shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.' " 10-07

  10. Whales, Bowhead (University of Alaska Fairbanks)
      "Bada found that most of the adult whales were between 20 and 60 years old when they died, but five males were much older. One was 91, one was 135, one 159, one 172, and the oldest whale was 211 years old at the time of its death. That whale, alive during the term of President Clinton, was also gliding slowly and gracefully through the Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort seas when Thomas Jefferson was president." 04-12

  11. Editorial: Limits on Separation of Church and State (Truth-Out.org)
      "Frederick Clarkson, senior fellow at Political Research Associates, notes that the issues surrounding church-state separation and religious freedom remain somewhat thorny. 'A guy like Tom Monahan does not get to rewrite the Constitution in accordance with his religious or political viewpoint,' he says. 'But a bunch of people can get together to form an intentional community. The question then becomes to what extent can a person give up his or her individual rights?' "

      "For me, the real question is one that Thomas Jefferson asked: Are you as free to go out of a church as you are to go into one?" 11-14

  12. New Test for Alzheimer's Disease (CBS News)
      "A new test may help scientists answer a perplexing 'which came first' question about the development of Alzheimer's disease, possibly pointing the way to earlier diagnosis or even treatment."

      " 'The paper describes an extremely interesting and potentially important advance,' said Dr. Samuel Gandy of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia said. 'This method is light-years ahead of any existing technology for approaching the issue,' said Gandy, who was not part of the research team." 06-06
