The publisher of the Chicago Tribune, Colonel Robert R. McCormick, was an inveterate civic booster. In his view, Chicagoland was the vast region in the center of the country, with Chicago as its economic and cultural capital. In many ways, what McCormick envisioned as Chicagoland is now described by the term flyover country. The term is often used by advertisers ("See your Chicagoland Ford dealer") or by weathercasters ("A major snowstorm is expected in the Chicagoland area"). It would rarely be used outside the area, ho ...

Each successful part of the stunt won 20 points for the team. While the partners alternated playing the stunt, they had to answer a list question read by Graham.

The Early and Middle Jomon periods saw an explosion in population, as indicated by the number of excavations from this period. These two periods correspond to the prehistoric thermal optimum (between 4000 and 2000 BC), when temperatures reached several degrees Celsius higher than the present, and the seas were higher by 5 to 6 meters. Beautiful artistic realizations, such as highly decorated flamed vessels, remain from that time. After 1500 BC, the climate cooled, and populations seem to have contracted dramatically. Compa ...

According to the creation story found in the Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters, dating from AD 712) and the Nihongi or Nihon-shoki (Chronicle of Japan, from AD 720), the Japanese islands were created by the gods, two of whom--the male Izanagi and the femal ...
