...from an entitled mind-set. Not monetarily - her husband Avery (Anthony Edwards) is a magazine editor, and they live in two adjacent rent-stabilized apartments and drive a Volvo old enough to still look like a Volvo - but rather, intellectually. She's a woman who treats a career as sort of an accessory, something that ought to be easy to pick up once you're in the mood.

Millions of people live on these lands and earn their livelihoods from the forest. It's always a challenge to pursue policies that allow local communities to live in the protected areas but also maintain the habitats. Other countries in Asia are trying to do this, he says, but Vietnam is actually faring better than most...
