...owners around the world generally kill predators, but the 45,000-acre Mugie Ranch is trying something new. It is part of the Laikipia Predator Project, run by wildlife biologist Laurence Frank of the University of California, Berkeley, who is seeking better ways for big cats and humans to coexist. Adapting techniques from Masai tribesmen, who have herded cattle amid predators in this region for centuries, he is teaching ranchers to build taller, stronger bomas--traditional livestock pens made of thorn branches--to stop night-time raids by lions. When the herds are let out to graze during...
...says spending money and saving it are two different things? A new breed of companies is trying to convince consumers that shopping and socking away cash can, in fact, happily coexist.

Cultural issues like gay marriage and abortion and school prayer now coexist with an even more pressing and divisive one: a war whose necessity is increasingly disputed and whose context, like it or not, is seen by some as a clash between faiths. However often Bush defends Islam as a religion of peace, his case for war now rests less on high-fiber geo-political arguments than on the suggestion that the 3rd Infantry Division be used...
...elections in June. Meanwhile, German conservatives have suggested a "privileged partnership" for Turkey instead of full-fledged membership, an idea Ankara rejects. Washington and London, for their part, want the E.U. to embrace Turkey as an example to other nations in the Middle East that Islam and democracy can coexist. Turkey's "presence among us," British Prime Minister Tony Blair wrote last week in Le Monde, "will throw a bridge to the Islamic world." Construction is under way on the Turkish side, but they can't finish it alone...
