    I recently watched a program on the History Channel where they mentioned a plant used by the Romans for birth control. Apparently the method was so effective that the plant was harvested to the point of extinction. Sorry, I didn't catch the name of it. What is known about this plant?

    This place, once a "seeing place," has seen it all: first a stronghold, it's been a walking place, a drinking place, a disbarking place, a swimming place (but not for people), a singing place, and now an embarking place. Oddly enough, never a drumming place, though virtually in a former shooting place that still retains the name. Named for a politician, then renamed horticulturally, it's again named for the politician, no relation to other more recent ones of the same name. Where in the United States is it?

    During the life of Christ, Romans ruled Jerusalem; when had these Romans won control of the ancient city?
