Most important of all are the more than 130,000 caribou of the Porcupine herd, which migrates each spring onto the coastal plain to calve. These caribou are at the heart of the environmentalists' case against drilling. In late May, the animals arrive on the plain after traveling 400 miles around the mountains, to give birth far from their predators: the eagles, wolves and grizzlies that live principally in the mountains. After calving, they forage on the rich greenery that springs up in the 24-hour sunshine. As new snow approaches, they return to the forests on the south slopes...
Many of Israel's prime ministers have had such tarnished records, however. Barak has overseen Israel's response to the recent violence, which has led to the deaths of several hundred Palestinians, many of whom have been children.

...Lecter is now on the loose in Florence, Italy. Back in the States, there's a crazy, deformed, jillionaire pedophile named Mason Verger (Gary Oldman), who years earlier peeled off his own face while under the spell of Lecter.

One of the reasons I found that early "Survivor" excerpt so dull was that there were way too many people doing way too little. Cull the herd a little before we go on the air, let us know up front who the stars are, and let's get down to business...
...count, the Court gives David Boies exactly the hand count he never wanted. (If there are any holdouts, it'll be a Ginsburg or a Breyer, unable to bring themselves to say an unkind word about the Florida Supremes.) Rehnquist, with Scalia playing bad cop, will herd the Justices to their left into remanding the case back to the Florida court - with very specific instructions. Counting all the undervotes, Broward and Volusia and the Miami-Dade 20 percent. And Palm Beach too, just to be thorough...
