...chain. Other animals are also in trouble. In February, in what should have been midwinter in the far north, Nunavut's capital city, Iqaluit, was a balmy 5*noneC and rainy. When the temperature dropped, a layer of ice froze over the tundra. Now there's fear that the caribou, which normally dig through snow--not hard ice--to get lichen in winter, will be underfed.

Even measures taken to protect wildlife can cause problems. The hole that created the new spill was located at one of dozens of caribou-crossing sites, where the pipeline is tucked in a culvert that helped shield the leak from view...
...lineup for last Monday’s concert at the Roxy was more Animal Planet than MTV, as pastoral electronicists Caribou and Welsh psychedelic goof-rockers Super Furry Animals stampeded the stage.

A native of Caribou, Maine, she went straight out of college in 1975 to work as an aide to Republican Senator Bill Cohen. When he retired in 1996, Collins won his seat. While relatively new to the Senate, she doesn't share the strong conservatism of many of the chamber's younger Republicans. For instance, she has not supported George Bush's plan for personal-investment accounts as part of his Social Security reform...
