There is no simple way to reconcile expanding human populations and the territorial requirements of large predators. Whenever a choice has to be made, the needs of humans will trump those of big cats. Even on Mugie Ranch, where tolerance for lions is high, ranch manager Klaus Mortensen recently had to shoot a female lion he knew by name after she took to killing sheep. "If you don't move quickly, they teach the other lions [to do the same]," says Mortensen. Big cats cannot help themselves; they are natural-born killers. To keep them in a world where wilderness...
Some of Europe's biggest foundations are also the most recent. They include a $1 billion foundation set up by Klaus Tschira, a co-founder of the German software firm SAP, that funds science competitions and antismoking campaigns, and a $250 million foundation set up in 2000 by Shell, the Anglo-Dutch oil giant. In Germany some newer foundations are following the example of Reinhard Mohn, who built Germany's Bertelsmann into a media powerhouse after World War II and in 1993 transferred the company's ownership to a foundation that now has about $900 million in assets.

...Binalshibh, an alleged key al-Qaeda operative in U.S. custody. The U.S. government turned down the prosecution's requests to allow Binalshibh to testify, or even provide transcripts of his questioning. "The interests of the state to maintain secrecy cannot result in a disadvantage for the defendant," said Judge Klaus Tolksdorf. Last month, another judge acquitted Abdelghani Mzoudi, another Moroccan and friend of the Hamburg hijackers, of the same...
...Europe; many definitions of justice. In Hamburg last week, Judge Klaus Rühle announced that his five-man court was freeing alleged Sept. 11 accomplice Abdelghani Mzoudi "not because the court is convinced of [his] innocence, but only because the evidence was not enough for a conviction." Mzoudi, a 31-year-old Moroccan who witnesses said had trained at al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan, didn't deny having extensive ties with the hijackers who lived in Hamburg. He made financial transactions for one and arranged housing for others. The government believed he knew about the attacks in advance...
