Tracie Hotchner: Oh, violently. It is illegal everywhere in the civilized world except the United States. It is a barbaric practice, in which not just the claw is removed, but the entire first joint of the foot is removed with a garden clipper - they cut off the entire toe at the first joint. So you have animals that are butchered and experience extreme pain, and no longer have the use of their feet for all the things that cats use their feet for - exploring the world, jumping up and down, playing with things.

...host up to 180 in its debut year. "We're well ahead of the game," says David Campbell, chief executive of AEG Europe. According to Billboard, O2 sold 601,056 tickets in its first three months, making it the fourth most popular arena in the world after Madison Square Garden, the Manchester Evening News Arena and Wembley Arena.

...like David Hare, for avoiding an overtly political (usually left-wing) point of view. He describes his politics as "timid libertarian." Yet he can rev up a pretty bold rant on Britain's "highly regulated society," which he thinks is "betraying the principle of parliamentary democracy." There was the garden party he threw recently, for example, where because there was a pond on the property, he was required to hire two lifeguards.
