Apparently in Britain, this is “protected speech.” The protesters climbed onto the hood of the vehicle and tried to break the windshield. Police responded to this provocation by escorting the official from the premises in a police car. After an Israeli official gave a lecture at the University of Manchester, she was attacked by pro-Palestinian protesters. It was quite the crackdown, considering what happened elsewhere on Britain’s streets at about the same time. Police carted McAlpine off, and he spent seven hours in a cell for causing “harassment, alarm or distress.” Back in April, a street-corner preacher in Britain mentioned to a passing shopper that the Bible calls homosexuality a sin.Īn atheist homosexual policeman contended that since Dale McAlpine’s remark was loud enough to be overheard, he had broken the Public Order Act-a law passed in 1986 to control violent rioters and football hoodlums. ![]()

Take the way octopuses use coconut shells as tools elephants that classify humans by age, gender, and language or Ayumu, the young male chimpanzee at Kyoto University whose flash memory puts that of humans to shame. But in recent decades, these claims have eroded, or even been disproven outright, by a revolution in the study of animal cognition. What separates your mind from an animal’s? Maybe you think it’s your ability to design tools, your sense of self, or your grasp of past and future–all traits that have helped us define ourselves as the planet’s preeminent species.

The Black Count is simultaneously a riveting adventure story, a lushly textured evocation of 18th-century France, and a window into the modern world’s first multi-racial society. Enlisting as a private, he rose to command armies at the height of the Revolution in an audacious campaign across Europe and the Middle East – until he met an implacable enemy he could not defeat. Yet, hidden behind these swashbuckling adventures was an even more incredible secret: the real hero was the son of a black slave - who rose higher in the white world than any man of his race would before our own time. Born in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), Alex Dumas was briefly sold into bondage but made his way to Paris where he was schooled as a sword-fighting member of the French aristocracy. The real-life protagonist of The Black Count, General Alex Dumas, is a man almost unknown today yet with a story that is strikingly familiar, because his son, the novelist Alexandre Dumas, used it to create some of the best loved heroes of literature. Here is the remarkable true story of the real Count of Monte Cristo – a stunning feat of historical sleuthing that brings to life the forgotten hero who inspired such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Until now, no memoir has so artfully described the difficulty abandoned children known as foundlings face when trying to find their genetic truth or the thrill they experience upon finally coming face to face with their Spitting Image.
