...part of the Southeast Asian collection, you come face to face with a lazily floating false gavial, a narrow-snouted crocodile-like reptile. A "second-growth forest" houses flying foxes; these huge bats, which can have wingspans of up to 1.8 m, hang directly above your head.

Even Laura Bush--the President's safety valve in times of trouble--irked grouchy conservatives with a mild comment on NBC's Today show. Standing beside her hammering husband on a Habitat for Humanity lot in soggy Louisiana, she said it was "possible" that there was some sexism in the criticism of Miers. "It was insulting to the people who are trying to be the most helpful," said a discouraged conservative operative who has been going to the gym more instead of pulling...
