Like the cattle rustlers of yore, deer smugglers are outlaws to much of the deer-hunting fraternity. "You can't defend those actions," says Gary Joyner, a spokesman for the Texas Wildlife Association, a group of landowners dedicated to "legal, fair chase hunting" and "stewardship of the land." In Texas the white-tail deer are something of a canary in a coal mine - and a good habitat for the deer is also conducive to songbirds and other native species, says Tom Harvey, a spokesman for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, which monitors populations and places regional bag limits...
...company betting on a yen reversal may have a long wait. Tohru Sasaki, chief currency strategist in Tokyo at JPMorgan Chase & Co., believes the dollar-yen exchange is reaching a sustainable average. "The yen's level until last year was abnormally weak. Now it's coming back to normal," he says. Compared to the mid-1990s, he says, the strong yen's negative impact on the Japanese economy is "not that large."

As a judge, Chase was overzealous and notoriously unfair; he ordered a Revolutionary War veteran hanged for treason after he refused to pay taxes, and he found the author of a book critical of President John Adams guilty of sedition. But Chase never committed a crime - he was just incredibly bad at his job. The Senate acquitted him on every count...
...suddenly decide to ally with his former hostage—or why the seemingly rational Barkley would go along with the plan—is left completely unexplained. Nonetheless, it seems the viewer is meant to root for the brothers as they carry out their plan. A rather exciting chase scene follows the payment of the ransom, and this clever sequence marks a highlight of the film. Unfortunately, it also divides “Nobel Son” between its mildly entertaining opening act and its manic, absurd conclusion. Indeed, the film veers wildly off track in its second hour...
