...together to fight evil. It is not a p.c. statement about sexuality. It is not Harry and the Angry Inch. J.K. Rowling's story started as a children's book and evolved into teenage reading material. That is it. Cloud is gay and proud, which is fantastic. But as Grey's Anatomy's T.R. Knight said, "I hope being gay is not the most interesting part about me."

That's a discouraging reality for primatologists and for the grey-shanked douc, whose forest habitat in Vietnam is being destroyed at the rate of the 10,000 hectares per year to make way for logging and agriculture. "When it comes to a choice between economic development and protection, economic development is going to win out most times," says Rawson...
