...political news is sky-high, and new and old media each need the other to supply material and drive attention. What's happening instead is a kind of melding of roles. Old and new media are still symbiotic, but it's getting hard to tell who's the rhino and who's the tickbird...
...Kaziranga: This World Heritage Site and park in the northeastern state of Assam is home to one of the subcontinent's rarest animals. Visitors to Kaziranga ride on elephant-back to catch a glimpse of the one-horned Indian rhino, an animal once nearly hunted into extinction but now making a comeback; afterward, they head off in search of Kaziranga's other attractions, which include bison and wild boar. Three on-site resorts offer accommodation in the form of tent camps, rooms or cottages. www.kaziranganationalpark.com...

Some Australian ex-soldiers saw the prototype and, he recalls, said, "'Can you build us a panic truck?' 'What's that?' 'You know, if anything goes down, you can panic, get in it and go.'" So into a camouflage-painted Blizzard went a GPS navigation system, two-way radio, radar, spaces for food, water, fuel and a nuclear-biological-chemical...
