An interesting aside.  The US Postal distress (oops, is it
service?) is issuing a stamp in honor of William Jennings Bryan.
The article I read mentions only Bryan's name, and the fact that
he was the PROSECUTOR of the Scopes Monkey Trial.  Bryan was
a remarkable orator (something we don't see much in these days
of cheap rhetoric and 1 minute "hook" spots), and it's sort
of sad to see him mentioned only for the Scopes trial.  I dunno
if the other side of the council is to be honored with a stamp
as well, but one would hope so.  Perhaps we ought to urge the postal
service to honor the modern side as well as the luddite side.
