...Moose were plentiful here during the French and Indian wars [between 1689 and 1763]--more plentiful than deer," said Cedric Alexander, chair of the moose management team at the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Commission. "Here in 1990, we've had conditions favorable to moose again for quite a while, and they're reproducing well...
What was he doing in the mountains? He was probably not a hunter, since most of the deer, badgers and wild pigs would have been found in forests at lower altitudes. He may have been searching for gold and other precious metals. He could have been on the run, hiding from enemies in the treacherous mountain passes. Or, says Spindler, he may simply have been on his way to visit a friend in the next valley -- a trip disastrous for him but lucky for scientists 40 centuries in the future...

It is easy to see what entices them: breathtaking landscape, boundless fresh air and only 5 people per sq. mi. (vs. 3.3 deer and hundreds of trout).

Robert Redford and Clint Eastwood have dominated movies for a quarter-century, but their latest pictures have played in empty theaters.

When Bruce Willis flexed his pecs through two Die Hard melodramas and gave voice to the Look Who's Talking hits, he had to be hot; each pair of films grossed close to $200 million...
...only in mice and has yet to be tested in humans. Some resolute citizens are said to chew garlic before venturing outdoors, hoping wistfully that what works for vampires will also drive off ticks. Ken Liegner, a Westchester County, N.Y., doctor with many Lyme disease patients, has invented a "deer gazebo" that would lure whitetails with a salt lick or apple mash and shower them with pesticide. The rumor persists that Lyme-infected veterinarians have dosed themselves with canine Lyme vaccine not tested in humans...
