Given the possibility that the victims may all have been female prostitutes, a task force of 40 police detectives has begun reviewing a list of women reported missing since the mid-1990s, along with missing women outside of Albuquerque. In an ironic twist, it turns out that Ross has a connection to two of the four women identified so far. Her younger sister went to high school with one and her teenage daughter is in dance class with the other woman's daughter. Says Ross: "I keep thinking about it over and over and I just can't believe...

...Humes profiles an assortment of eco-barons, from businessmen to inventors, and discovers that what binds them is, he says, a "clear view of the insanity attached to the way we live." Doug Tompkins, who founded the clothing line Esprit - and then left it behind for conservation in the 1990s while it was still wildly successful - is the quintessential eco-baron and the source of Hume's best writing. Tompkins was always an outdoor adventurer - even while heading up Esprit, he would regularly disappear for months-long trips to the forests of South America - so when he burned...

This time, however, the protest's leaders tried to defuse the situation and urged their followers to head back to the University of Nairobi campus for a prayer session. "The direction they are now taking is not the direction we wanted," said Walter Otieno, 28, a Strathmore University student and one of the protest's leaders, who had gotten...

...Ozawa is not, and has never been, just a political insider. Since the early 1990s he has articulated a vision of Japan as a place that had to be a "normal country," one that had its own interests, in which national goals were set by its elected politicians, and in which the bureaucracy's job was to implement a political program rather than shape policy themselves. During his interview with TIME, held in the DPJ's modest headquarters in Tokyo's Nagatacho district, Ozawa was asked if his analysis of the need for Japan to be a "normal country...
