...formed patrols have been in the field since January 1994. The so-called Amba patrols have been working to disrupt poachers and their trade networks. Amba was given a boost this summer when Prime Minister Chernomyrdin issued a decree calling for a national strategy to protect tigers and their habitat. Unfortunately, protecting the forests that are home to tigers and other creatures is one environmental problem that is literally out of control...
...that sense, Tooby and Cosmides have noted, nostalgia for the suburban nuclear family of the 1950s--which often accompanies current enthusiasm for "family values"--is ironic. The insular coziness of Ozzie and Harriet's home is less like our natural habitat than, say, the more diffuse social integration of Andy Griffith's Mayberry.

If there was any doubt about its momentum, the young velociraptors in Congress--freshman ideologues, mostly, squeaking with Newtish zeal--buried it three weeks ago.

Most of the West Coast, from Southern California up to Vancouver, British Columbia, would make fine fire-ant habitat as well. And while the moisture-loving insects can't spread westward through arid reaches of West Texas on their own, they don't have to. Fire ants have been known to hitch rides on truckloads of produce, nursery stock and even industrial chemicals. According to Richard Patterson, a U.S. Department...
