"In chemistry we are mostly interested in the electrons that give atoms their properties and hold atoms together to form molecules. Thus to describe matter, and to predict the properties of molecules, we must use quantum mechanics."
"Classical mechanics does not provide an accurate description of matter on the scale of atoms and molecules. Electrons around a nucleus or nuclei do not behave like planets orbiting the sun or like ping-pong balls bouncing around in a container. Experiments show that when observing the properties of very small bits of matter, such as a single electron, the matter exhibits wave-like properties. Quantum mechanics is the mathematical description of matter on the atomic scale." 12-02

- McCormack Reaper (University of Virginia)
"Who invented the mechanical reaper is still a point of contention between members of the McCormick family descending from the family of Robert Hall McCormick of Walnut Grove in Rockbridge, Virginia. Perhaps the debate lies more between members of the family and the popular history that has come down through the years. Though it has become common knowledge that Cyrus H. McCormick invented and manufactured the reaper, it may have actually been his father's genius as a simple inventor that led to the family's riches and renown." 01-06
- Fundamentalism (University of Virginia - ReligiousMovements)
"The term `fundamentalism' has its origin in a series of pamphlets published between 1910 and 1915. Entitled 'The Fundamentals: A Testimony to the Truth,' these booklets were authored by leading evangelical churchmen and were circulated free of charge among clergymen and seminarians. By and large, fundamentalism was a response to the loss of influence traditional revivalism experienced in America during the early years of the twentieth century. This loss of influence, coupled with the liberalizing trends of German biblical criticism and the encroachment of Darwinian theories about the origin of the universe, prompted a response by conservative churchmen." 01-06

- Congress Gives President Bush Approval to Wage War (MSNBC)
"The Senate joined the House on Friday morning in voting solidly to give President Bush the authority to use force against Iraq, approving a resolution endorsed by the president and leaders of both parties."
"But some influential Democrats remained opposed, and the resolution’s leading opponent, Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, did not go down without a fight, accusing Congress of 'handing the president unchecked authority.'
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., agreed. “The power to declare war is the most solemn responsibility given to Congress by the Constitution,” he said. 'We must not delegate that responsibility to the president in advance.' ”
