...valuable as tropical forests may be to the world as a carbon sink, however, they matter even more to the people whose lives and livelihoods depend on them. Some environmentalists fear that a rush to cash in on forest conservation could end up hurting the indigenous people - whether the rubber tappers of Brazil or the forest dwellers of Aceh - that it should benefit most. After all, history has not been good to native people in the developing world who dwell on suddenly valuable land. The key will be to manage avoided deforestation projects properly, to make sure they are truly...
...Love of God.” It’s a human skull made of platinum and smothered in diamonds—8,601 diamonds, to be precise. If that weren’t obnoxious enough, it sold for $100 million, which was paid to the artist in cash (straight up). Luda, you might have what “feels like a midget hanging from my necklace,” but the members of the mystery investment firm that purchased this (revolting) display of conspicuous consumption can now sport an entire human skull worth of bling-a-ling if they...

The whole thing makes for more of a ritual than a race, but there's no doubting that the formula...
...once, has a record of changing his positions on an unusually wide range of issues, and just announced that he's a Mormon to a nation that might not otherwise have known or even cared. Though as smooth as corn syrup on the outside, preacherman Huckabee is low on cash, light on organization and may not be able to fill the pews in New Hampshire the way he did in Iowa. And then there's Thompson, who has not found the transition from Hollywood's low-lit soundstages to politics' brighter lights as forgiving as many had hoped. Staffers have...
