NEW YORK (AP) —
Calvin Klein, the edgy
American designer known
for racy ads and $70 jeans,
is looking for a buyer or
partner for his New York-
based fashion company.
After watching this
year’s bidding wars over
Gucci, Fendi and other de
signers, Calvin Klein decid
ed to steal some of the spot
light and hired an
investment bank to line up
a deal.
Klein wants to expand
his $2.5 billion empire into
accessories, beauty prod
ucts,- men’s wear, active
sportswear and home fur
nishings.
The privately owned
company also wants to
open more retail stores — a
move that will relax the
grip department stores

other business
alternatives,
including a possible merger. This
comes after a year long trend of

An
‘Evolution’ removed from guidelines
have on the 56-year-old de
signer.
“Calvin, by hooking up
with a deep-pocketed part
ner, gets the infrastructure
to grow the business in
both venues — retail stores
and accessories,” Edward
Nardoza, editor-in-chief of
Women’s Wear Daily, said.
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The
word “evolution” has quietly been
deleted from Kentucky’s guidelines
for what students should be taught,
two months after Kansas created a
furor when it dropped Darwin’s the
ory as a required part of the cur
riculum.
The Kentucky Education Depart
ment edited out “evolution” and re
placed it with the phrase “change over
time. ”
Deputy Education Commissioner
Gene Wilhoit said the word was con
sidered “a lightning rod that creates a
diversion from what we’re teaching.”
Some teachers, already nervous
about what they consider an assault
on a cornerstone of biology from
those who favor the biblical account
of creation, were annoyed.
“They chose the less scientifical
ly correct term and went with a more
politically feasible term,” Ken Rosen
baum, director of the Kentucky Sci
ence Teachers Association, said yes
terday.
“In science we have big words like
photosynthesis. Do we not call it pho
tosynthesis? Do we call it plant food
making?”
Helen Mountjoy, chairperson of
the Kentucky Board of Education, said
the change would make no difference
in the classroom.
"We teach evolution
and we test evolution
in Kentucky. ,,
— Helen Mountjoy
Kentucky Board of Education chair
“We teach evolution and we test
evolution in Kentucky,” she said.
“There is no change in the way we
expect teachers to approach this
subject.”
In August, the Kansas Board of Ed
ucation adopted new testing stan
dards that play down the scientific im
portance of evolution, including the
theory that humans descended from
apes and other lower species.
In many states, including Ken
tucky, there are periodic attempts
at local levels to push “creation
ism” as a biblical counterbalance to
evolution.
In 1996, officials in the Marshall
County school district in western Ken
tucky confiscated science textbooks
and glued together two pages dealing
with the big-bang theory.
Some principals had complained
that the fifth- and sixth-grade text
books did not include the biblical ac
count of creation.
When the Kentucky science guide
lines were first provided to teachers in
1995, they did not include the word
“evolution” in the statement: “Bio
logical change over time accounts for
the diversity of species developed
through gradual processes over many
generations. ”
Last year, science teachers suc
cessfully campaigned to substitute
“evolution” for “change over time.”
