...former Israeli soldier who had the honor of guarding the Church of the Nativity in the mid-1980s. But I take issue with a number of Hamad's insinuations. He was critical of the security checkpoints, but since the city is no longer under Israeli control, why should the crossing into Israel be different from that between the U.S. and Canada, for instance?

Only after they heard the mother banging against the bars did they investigate, finding no sign of the young. Polar bears often eat their cubs if they believe they are ill, though zookeepers have no clear picture if that instinct is what motivated the mother bear...
...Vera has since been photographed gazing through the bars at the young cub she can no longer reach. The zookeepers are pondering whether to bring another adult bear, possibly the cub's father, Felix, to the zoo to help Vera overcome her loss, and are seeking another small bear to serve as a companion for the rescued cub. But while the intervention saved the cub's life, it leaves some observers far from happy. "This development is not good for the principle of wildlife conservation in our zoo," said Alexandra Foghammar, spokesperson for the city of Nuremberg...
