...Meanwhile, every month that India spends debating the tiger's future, that future grows grimmer. As many as 250 tigers are slaughtered by Indian poachers each year, according to Wright, and as populations fall, poachers chase the animals deeper into the reserves. Nowhere is safe. In the Vidarbha region, which includes the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, a sanctuary where the tiger population had expanded healthily for a quarter of a century, 12 tigers have died in the past 18 months. Some conservationists suspect that other tiger reserves have already been virtually emptied of their inhabitants...
That sort of competition is pushing up the price of deals and extending the chase to Europe and Asia. It's also prompting firms to buy companies they would have spurned just a few years ago. Retail--a highly competitive sector with low margins--is a case in point, says Christopher Kampe, director at Grant Thornton Corporate Finance.

When he does approach that state - as in a chase with a security guard at his father-in-law's office, the Russos don't really know how to develop it in more than routine ways...
...token sucker was picked up off the tracks by the cop who chased him there. The blood, the third rail and plenty of fight in the boy made it a task fit for a hero. No medals were awarded, and I confess I did not think of him as much of a hero that first night. But he has lived 25 years with that chase. And 25 years removed, I can admit that I might have chased...
