Much of that reduced mortality has come from minimizing the interactions between bears and humans. Sheep-grazing rights once brought lots of food into grizzly territory on National Forest land, for example, but grazing allotments have been all but phased out. Garbage dumps and piles of entrails left behind by elk hunters lure grizzlies into areas where they are more likely to be hit by cars or run into people who have to kill them in self-defense. But again, many dumps have been shut down, and the Wyoming game and fish department is working with hunting groups to make...
...Protestant clergy have been convicted in connection with the genocide in his country in 1994, and Kagame has repeatedly stated his disdain for religious organizations. Thus a buzz went up in Kigali's Amahoro Stadium last month when Kagame allowed Rick Warren, pastor of the Saddleback megachurch in Lake Forest, Calif., and author of the best-selling The Purpose-Driven Life, to throw an arm over his shoulders and "pray for the President...

It alternates the drollery of Jonathan Pryce's French villain (when Will charges, "You killed my friends," Pryce purrs, "I only wish you had more") with the labored buffoonery of Peter Stormare's Italian henchman. But in the enchanted forest, Grimm's sense of wonder is spellbinding--a reminder that Gilliam is as much shaman as showman. His reckless, robust imagination leaves Hollywood's prime confectors of fantasy light-years behind...
