...Pass the Cockroaches, Please Re "Eating Bugs": how about advocating for a more palatable vegetarian future [June 16]? I've been a vegetarian for 37 years. I'm 61 and strong and healthy enough to compete in 100-mile (160-km) mountain-bike races, ski, climb and dance all night with my wife.

We're focusing right now in one of our programs on the horse. It has very similar osteoarthritis conditions to humans, but it shows them in a much more compressed period of time. Many, many species...

In the distance, National Guard troops piled the bags. Below us, only a few feet away, was our new enemy - the river...
...significant to more than the convenience of the estimated 5 million Taiwanese who traveled to China last year, or to the 1 million who now live and work on the mainland. It is expected to aid Taiwan's economy and ease tensions across the combustible Taiwan Strait, the 112 mile (180 km) wide body of water separating mainland China and Taiwan. The direct-flight deal was reached by two semi-official bodies representing Beijing and Taipei in their touchy diplomatic contacts: Taiwan's Straits Exchange Foundation and China's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits.
