Silent Wings

Article Abstract:

The great gray owl that are found in the islands of Canadian forest is described with reference to their hunting ability, migration, and their body structure. With its 5-foot wingspan, the great gray glides silently from the top of the balsam fir as if sliding down an incline that perfectly connects its perch with the precise location of the sound that caught its attention.

Date rape's other victim: in their claims of a date-rape epidemic on campus, feminists subvert their own cause

Article Abstract:

Statistics on date rape are misleading because they depend on interpretation of behavior. Feminists who promote the idea of a date-rape crisis are reinforcing a traditional, archaic view of women as passive and child-like.
