A study of the current science curriculum being taught at the elementary school level revealed that information about landfills and solid stresses taught, said Young. "I think it's really important at this age to further their awareness. It wasn't so much of a problem before, because it appeared as if we had unlimited resources, the world was infinitely big.

It ended one of the angriest, most emotionally charged confirmation battles in recent history and made him only the second black ever to sit on the nation's highest court. Thomas' confirmation strengthens an already solid conservative majority on the court, where liberals will be outnumbered seven to two.
