Hungry Rhesus macaques roam the streets and even the subway, leap through treetops outside grand government buildings and scale fences of companies and private homes in search of open windows and tempting food. Even Delhi's police headquarters has been raided by a monkey gang...
...rejuvenate peer review by opening up the process to all members of the scientific community. I would normally feel compelled to correct all these errors, but fortunately I don’t have to.

For Rather, that means he can pursue stories without worrying about what the suits upstairs think. "Free people in a democratic system need hard news," says Rather, who plans to roam the country in pursuit of serious stories and heavy hitting interviews.
