Colin Blakemore, a professor of physiology at the University of Oxford whose medical research has relied on animal tests, was among several scientists threatened with assassination several years ago. Crude devices intended to injure have been sent to his home and office. The violence of a tiny fraction of animal-rights campaigners has stirred alarm even among fellow activists, who say it diverts attention from the real debate...
...responsible for the company's sustainable development efforts. They include ensuring Total is working with local communities around the world and developing new sources of energy, including wind. Gires is especially proud of a recent $4 billion project in Venezuela that produces and refines extra-heavy crude from the Orinoco basin that a decade ago would have been left in the ground.

Locating a likely spot, the villagers lighted the fuse on a 110-lb. lump of homemade dynamite and blew a hole in the middle of a wheat field. Having blasted their way to a spot near the top of the tomb, they donned...
