...cruelty to animals made him more famous than football alone could have [Sept. 3]. As a veterinary student who has worked in emergency rooms, I can say that the sight of a dog after a fight is horrific. These dogs are missing ears, are covered in excrement and sawdust and are in a state of shock, with a core body temperature that puts them closer to death than to life. Vick deserves everything he gets and more...
...left her hobbling around on only three legs for the better part of six years. Finally, in 2005 surgeons at the Friends of the Asian Elephant Hospital in Lampang, Thailand, designed a 22-lb. (10 kg) shoelike prosthetic foot that is little more than a canvas sack filled with sawdust and held in place by a giant sling.

Blanchett: The film doesn't set out to justify or condone the abuse of minors. That salacious aspect is the wrapping.

One is a booming metropolis where fashionistas sip mint juleps while overlooking the Bund.[an error occurred while processing this directive] The other is a gritty city where malcontent punks swig beer in spit-and-sawdust dives. Or so we're led to believe. But with the 2008 Olympic Games less than two years away, Beijing is undergoing a maniacal makeover - nowhere more brazen than in the city's wining-and-dining scene. With its army of foreign Mandarin students, Beijing has traditionally been the city...
