...lovable lemur could be for Madagascar what the panda - the original adaptively cute animal - is for China, a charismatic minor species, a symbol of the nation and conservation. Having a species recognized by the world can motivate locals also to support conservation. "It's good for people to know that they have a species around them that the world cares about," says Mittermeier. Already lemurs are attracting growing numbers of tourists to Madagascar, as evidenced by the full camping grounds at the lodge where our group stayed in the Ankarafantsika Park, where sifakas all but drop in on the breakfast...

Party professionals around the country are publicly calling on McCain to change the subject from the nation's faltering economy by becoming much more aggressive in his attacks against Obama. Go after the Illinois Senator on his ties to his controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, some urge, or attack Obama's associations with convicted Chicago real estate developer Tony Rezko or former '60s radical Bill Ayers...
