...harder, in fact, to catch a poacher than a tiger. Typically, says Desai, who has spent a decade chasing poachers and pelt dealers across the central Indian state of Maharashtra, the hunt begins with a tip-off from informants or rival dealers. Then you arrange a pelt showing. When the dealer unfurls his roll of pelts, you sniff each skin to check its quality. After that, you arrange the buy-in the midst of which the police pounce, arresting the dealer. This hunt can take months, only to be followed by the legal battle, which can take years...
...equipment that will help them be more productive. Run entirely by local staff and villagers, the low volume of funds involved reduces the risk of corruption and doesn't require helicopters or fleets of vehicles. These programs pay for themselves through the economic benefits they generate. They fail to catch the public eye, however, and hence remain desperately underfunded. By making modest investments in the world's most vulnerable people, millions can enjoy better, longer lives. And the need for high-profile crisis interventions will be reduced. Andrew MacMillan Scansano, Italy...
...Higgins' twist was to wed the docudrama to the crime romance (film noir, as the French later called it). For the docu part of the story, an authoritative off-screen voice would set up parallel narrative tracks: a criminal's m.o. and the dogged work of government sleuths to catch him.

The veneer of authenticity allowed Higgins and Mann to display more rotten behavior, more thugs...
...closeup is the white of a man's eyes, or the moisture in a woman's. The enveloping shadows reduce the visual information, isolate elements to which the audience's attention can be directed. In Raw Deal, Alton's closeups of Claire Trevor and Marsha Hunt manage to catch a cross of light in the left eye of each actress, and another glistening cross in their earrings. Later, to show that time is running out, Alton's reflects Trevor's face in the dial of a black clock. He might allow a figure to swallow the frame, as bulky Raymond...
...latest episodes of The Wire and The Sopranos for the service's $4.99 per month, but at any given time you do get access to four or five "classics" from the network's various franchises, broken up into easy-to-download chapters. Exciting as it was to catch vintage Entourage, it?s only available if you live in a city with HSDPA coverage (check at cingular.com/midtolarge/network). Some cities like New York have only spotty coverage, although Cingular promises to complete much of its high-speed network expansion by the year...
