...poll, which also places O’Brien’s running mate, Chris Gabrieli, clearly in first place in the Democratic lieutenant governor race, is an indication of the effectiveness of O’Brien’s summer campaigning. Polls last winter and spring showed O’Brien and Reich tied for first place...
...unattractive, are trying to diet their way to slimness... Many dieters opt for the eccentric. They have no lack of plans from which to choose... The Lover's Diet, devised by Dr. Abraham Friedman, at least sounds like fun. He urges the overweight to "reach for a mate instead of a plate" and exercise off their excess weight through intercourse. But unless they follow Friedman's low-fat and low-carbohydrate diet as well, they are unlikely to shed many pounds.

WILDLIFE CORRIDORS Some large animals need big areas to live and mate in. Male Siberian tigers, for example, have home ranges extending up to 400 sq. mi. In many cases there are no longer large enough blocks of wilderness left for such species to maintain a viable breeding population. So scientists are looking for ways to establish corridors linking contiguous reserves or parks. One proposal would link Canada's Yukon to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming to allow grizzlies to roam a larger area. A WWF plan calls for developing the Terai Arc across northern India and Nepal...
With its shallow waters and shifting sands, Cape Cod has long been a graveyard for both man and whale, especially pilot whales. In this treacherous terrain, the whales' critical echolocation system--those telltale clicks whales depend on for everything from avoiding predators to finding a mate--can easily become confused. Yet even after years of studying these big-brained creatures, scientists admit that's only an informed guess and doesn't explain groundings elsewhere. "I could give you an unlimited number of scenarios," says veteran Smithsonian cetologist James Mead, "and because we know so little about whale biology...
