Stichting Taurus, the Dutch preservationist group leading the project, is hoping a reborn aurochs could help restore the European countryside to a more natural state. To that end, the group would eventually like to replace the domesticated cattle that currently graze in Holland's nature reserves with the recreated wild cattle. "The aurochs was part of an ecosystem," says Henri Kerkdijk, manager of the project. "If you want to recreate the flora of the ecosystem, you also have to recreate the fauna." The idea came to Kerkdijk during a trip to Africa, where he was struck by the abundance...
...when Rutzel first sought help for anemia and osteopenia, a precursor of osteoporosis triggered by her avoidance of calcium, her doctor in upstate New York, where she attended college, had never heard of orthorexia. "You should be trying to eat healthy," she remembers him telling her.

Although the pledge to help Greece was sincere, it was light on specifics. After the new E.U. president, Herman Van Rompuy, announced that the leaders of Germany, France and Greece - along with himself and Jean-Claude Trichet, head of the European Central Bank - had reached an agreement, the leaders then passed the issue over to their subordinates to hammer out the details. There was no call for an emergency bailout or help from the International Monetary Fund. Instead, the 27 E.U. members promised to underwrite the Greek economy through loans, guarantees and other measures, so long as Athens maintained...
