"Regardless of the intent of the display, its impact cannot be ignored — people were hurt and offended," Emily Guerrant, a university spokeswoman, said. Michigan State University has apologized for a campus gift shop display that depicted prominent black figures hanging from a tree.

"I think people were eating a very balanced diet, a combination of carbohydrates and proteins," says team leader Lyn Wadley of the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa.

The Hebrews text both names it and describes it as being the source of our bondage. In order to unlock the secret of the text, I want to suggest to you an interpretation that...
