We may think differently as this bloody story evolves. But he is a novel, disturbing movie character.

Unlike the terrifying Madonnasaurus...

Today Mondavi's man in southern France can sip pastis with the hunters who were among his staunchest opponents, fearing that Mondavi would destroy the habitat of their favorite prey, the wild boar. It's a tribute to the 38-year-old's soft-spoken perseverance. "If he were an Indian, he'd be called Crafty Fox," says local winemaker Pierre Clavel with a smile...
