By David Evans The BBC in Sydney reports: Thousands of Australian
school students have urged greater action on climate change in protests
across the country. The students skipped school on Friday to highlight
what they say are inadequate climate policies by the Australian
government. On Monday, Australian PM Scott Morrison rebuked their plans
for “activism” during school hours and insisted his go

the first two parts of this series we have seen how the WWI conspiracy
came to be. But more important by far is the question of why it
happened. For what purpose was such carnage released upon the world?

the most experienced candidate elected to the White House in the modern
age.
He was the last of his kind—the sort who could hold his office without
embarrassment or apology, who wore his wartime heroism lightly, who took
his duty seriously, but never himself. In contrast to the incumbent of
the Oval Office, he looms in memory as the valiant remnant of a
Periclean age. So people can be forgiven if they forget that, in his
prime, George Herbert Walker Bush was mocked as a s
