...over the past 25 years, the average Soay Island wild sheep has decreased in size, according to a report in the July 2 issue of Science by a team of researchers led by Tim Coulson of Imperial College London. Thanks largely to global warming, the winters on Soay Island are becoming shorter and milder. That makes food more abundant and allows some of the smaller, more vulnerable and younger sheep to survive. Then they go on to have offspring that tend to be small themselves - and have a better chance of survival because of the increasingly mild winters. "The environmental...
...that the United Nations to settle the matter of who orchestrated the assassination. On Wednesday, a U.N. fact-finding commission launched its inquiry into Bhutto's assassination. A three-person team, headed by Chile's ambassador to the U.N., is due to arrive in Islamabad later this month, and report to Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon within six months.

The news report fails to mention that Bahari is actually in detention. So far, he has not been charged with any crime. (Watch TIME's video "An Iranian...
...enacted in 1860 by India's British rulers, but the most stubborn opposition to repealing it in India has come from those who argue that homosexuality goes against traditional Indian sensibilities. In July 2001, according to a report last year by Human Rights Watch, four HIV/AIDS outreach workers were arrested under Section 377 for distributing medical literature; a judge denied them bail, accusing them of "polluting the entire society." In 2003, the Indian Home Ministry - then under the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party - argued that it "responded to the values and mores of the time in the Indian society." Maulana...
