...leeches, among other trials - he was the first scientist to visit the area since the early 20th century. Tigers were once numerous in the valley, but poaching and human population growth had reduced their numbers to perhaps a few hundred. Gold had been discovered in the valley, and Rabinowitz knew that if the government didn't act soon, tigers would soon be hunted into extinction in Burma...
...also knew that by protecting the tiger, he could save far more wildlife than just the big cat. Following in Schaller's footsteps, Rabinowitz has focused on protecting cats partially for public relations reasons - it's easier to rally public support behind such beautiful, charismatic animals than, say, a new species of frog. Also, because big cats range far and wide in their habitats, if you can stake out enough land to protect them, you'll also be protecting all the smaller animals that occupy the lower rungs of the food chain. (It's called the "apex protection" strategy.) Tigers...
Everyone in the Clinton campaign knew that Tuesday evening would be a chance to reframe the race. But throughout primary day they believed the reframing would follow a New Hampshire loss to Barack Obama - possibly by a double-digit margin, according to some polls and the campaign's own worst fears.

...whether someone is going to be better off if we go through all of this at the end of it all. And the other is that it just has been my experience, going back many, many years, that voters hear things and see things differently. And that debate, I knew as soon as it was over and I was walking off the stage, one of the cameraman grabbed my hand and said, "That was great." And then from that moment on, everywhere I went people were telling me that they really got what I was doing and they were glad...
