...Macleay and his fellow naturalists were just as excited when Australia's bizarre flora and fauna began arriving in London in the 1780s. The stunning variety, wrote a contemporary, "bursts upon our view at the first glance like a new creation." When Macleay agreed to go out to New South Wales as colonial secretary in 1826, his sole consolation for being sent to that era's equivalent of the moon was that he'd find it easier there to feed the addiction that threatened to ruin him: collecting insects from the antipodes. In an exquisite introductory essay, Ashley Hay tells...
...crisis. Each subject draws on the resources he or she has available, and the film demonstrates why every little bit helps. Far off in Los Angeles, the quintessential “regular guy” and formerly apathetic Adam Sterling has access to a printer and grassroots appeal.

Once Of Montreal (not actually from Canada, mind you) quits the scene, the Born Ruffians are sure to do quite well. Bouncing and yelping in their latest video, “Hummingbird...
...demonstrated the passionate and stirring oratorical flair that was the hallmark of her campaign against another military dictator nearly 20 years ago. Then she was fighting the regime of Zia ul Haq, the military dictator who deposed, then hanged, her father Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, founder of the PPP. "My fellow Pakistanis," she shouted through a megaphone. "Our great country is under threat. I have not been served any arrest warrants, so technically I am free, but I am being physically prevented from leaving by barbed wire and blockades. This barbed wire is not against me, it is against the hopes...
