I read this somewhere: " 'A reader tells me that there are more Catholic churches in Las Vegas than casinos. When the offering is received at Mass, it is common for people to put casino chips rather than cash in the baskets. The several parishes send the collected chips to a neighboring Franciscan Monastery, where they are sorted and then cashed in at the casinos they came from. This weekly task is undertaken by those who are called the chip monks.' I apologize. That is really awful. But I needed one more short item for today’s posting. I promise it will not happen again."

Just read the new U of Chicago Magazine article about how the Univ is "looking south to Woodlawn". Great discussion of the history of the neighborhood and what is happening development-wise. Doug's condo is right in the middle of the area they are looking to develope. Very cool. Patty & Tom & Dan, do you guys get the mag? I love reading it, although the articles are always very scholarly and I have to read them s l o w l y. There is another article on the evolution v. creationism debate. I'll save that for later. See ya!

Title says it all.

It looks like I figured out the directions. Look out--mucho articles to come in the future! This article reminded me of the aricle in "The Economist" a few months ago which revealed the survey that 17 of the top 20 universities in the world are in the US.
