Evolution and religion in modern thought
A condensed essay argues evolution shapes language and literature, then shifts to religious belief. It notes shifts in interpretation from ancient to modern times, cites biblical figures and slavery, and suggests study of the evolution of the working class status. It emphasizes that truth grows from human perception, not fixed certainty.

Age of the Deceased In a Poetic Irish Anecdote
The New York Times piece presents James Clarence Harvey as an effective after dinner speaker. He recounts a tale of an Irishman in a remote Irish county. The relatives want birth and death dates on a coffin plate and hire a village tinker to craft it. The punch line hinges on how to fit age twenty eight with four T s. The coffin plate is completed and affixed as the funeral proceeds.
