...keep crocodiles and human beings apart. With more than 100,000 crocodiles living around the coast from Bundaberg, Queensland, to Derby, Western Australia, it's a daunting task. Each attack draws calls for a cull of the reptiles, which have been protected by law since the early '70s, and fresh concerns about the effectiveness of management programs. The Queensland government says its crocodile-control strategy - monitoring populations, removing crocodiles identified as a threat and educating people about the dangers - is working. But according to officials and rangers interviewed by Time about the Jefferies attack, stopping one of nature's most...

And although he urges his compatriots to support the fresh deployment, he understands their need to debate the issue. "You can say that the alliance is evolving and developing and learning lessons at the same time," he says. Insurgents fighting isaf troops might interpret the Dutch debate as a symptom of Nato's weakness. In fact it's a messy demonstration...
...Athina Roussel opened her eyes to a world filled with opportunity and excitement. It was her 21st birthday, fresh cause to celebrate only eight weeks after her wedding to a dashing Brazilian equestrian, Alvaro Alfonso de Miranda Neto, known to his bride and the world's press as "Doda." On the face of it, everything was finally turning rosy for the young woman whose early life had been scarred by the tragic death of her mother, Christina Onassis, and circumscribed by the pressures of enormous wealth - an estimated $600 million she picked up as sole heiress to her mother...
