At the bottom of the page is the following paragraph: "The Foundation awarded four fellowships in 2001: a full-time fellowship to Catherine Edwards Sanders to explore the spread of Wicca among young women in America; a full-time fellowship to Naomi Schaefer to examine the recent rise in enrollment at religion-based colleges when there is a growing hostility at many secular private and public institutions toward the practices of students of faith; a part-time fellowship to Tony Mecia to study the 'smart growth' movement and the impact of anti-sprawl policies on America's cities; and a part-time fellowship to Pamela Winnick to examine why there seems to be little tolerance among the media and established scientists for the teaching of creationism in America." Obviously Pamela Winnick has an established agenda. -- Bill
