The shortsighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands fur out door recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future. “We forget that they are the guarantee of li

No two people have the same pattern of friction ridges. Police officers can use fingerprints to identify defendants and crime victims if a print matches one already on file. (Today, the FBI has a collection of prints that numbers in the millions.) Peoples fingerprints can be on file for a variety of reasons. For example, people may be fingerprinted when they are arrested, or when they begin certain occupati
