Because of my medical and ideological training I am accustomed to saying that life is adaptation and symbiosis.

Agricultural practice served Darwin as the material basis for the elaboration of his theory of Evolution which explained the natural causation of the adaptation we see in the structure of the organic world. That was a great advance in the knowledge of living nature.

Regularity in the hours of rising and retiring perseverance in exercise adaptation of dress to the variations of climate simple and nutritious aliment and temperance in all things are necessary branches of the regimen of health.

The Constitution remains brilliant in its overall design and sound with respect to the Bill of Rights and the separation of powers. But there are numerous archaic provisions that inhibit constructive change and adaptation. These constitutional bits affect the daily life of the republic and every citizen in it.

I wrote a screenplay for a 'Sweet Valley High' adaptation and it's really amazing to me how many women who are my age have responded to the idea and are excited about the movie.
