...booming economy opens the country to foreign investment, floods India's cities with new workers and leaves fewer sanctuaries for the local primates, government officials are looking for ways to rein in the monkey business. A few years ago, officials in Delhi started rounding up monkeys and caging them in a large, dedicated prison on the outskirts of the city. Authorities would like to send them to forests in neighboring states, but many are refusing to accept the animals. India's Supreme Court stepped in last month, ordering that 300 entrapped monkeys be transferred to a forest in the central...
...destruction, as the Russians were? Can we defense-spend them into oblivion? If we cut and run in Iraq, it will be annexed by Iran, a larger share of the world's oil will be used as a weapon against the U.S., a Shi'ite majority will have free rein to commit genocide against the Sunnis and Kurds, and the Shi'ites will have more money to buy arms for Hizballah...

If they get it right, there's a fervid fan base, composed mostly of people far too young to take death seriously, who will send those movies into almost gruesome profitability (some of the films have made more than $100 million). The group is loose knit, and other members include the director of the first...
Studies suggest that nighttime driving is particularly dangerous for teens, and curfews are urged. "Most accidents involving teens occur before midnight," says Susan Ferguson, senior vice president of research for the IIHS. "So the smartest laws go into effect earlier." But last year nine states introduced measures to rein in teens' nighttime driving privileges, and only one--Nevada--passed such a law. "A lot of adults think, I used to drive at night with my friends, so what's the harm?" says Judith Lee Stone, president of the nonpartisan Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety in Washington. "It's hard...
