Wednesday, July 21, 2004
"An epic struggle between science and religion ended quietly this week.
I'm happy to report that science won. But it's troubling that it took an eight-year, multimillion-dollar legal fight with a government that was bent on siding with religion. On Monday, scientists won the right to study a 9,300-year-old skeleton called Kennewick Man when a group of Northwest Indian tribes and the federal government dropped the last of their legal appeals.
