...number of treks. Our group of seven chose a four-day ride over the spurs of Mount Tsast, the highest peak in western Mongolia. At 4,193 m, it is snowcapped even in summer, but its slopes fall into broad, warm valleys, grazed to a natural baize by camels, sheep, goats, yak and horses...
...stench of burning hair, hide and flesh of slaughtered animals casts gloom across the countryside. By week's end at least 250,000 animals had been destroyed, and that was only the beginning. Agriculture Minister Nick Brown announced plans for the "pre-emptive" killing of every pig and sheep within 3 km of any infected farm in Cumbria and southwest Scotland. By some accounts, the massive slaughter order could doom more than a million animals.

Foot-and-mouth has already led to the slaughter and incineration of 180,000 pigs, sheep and cows in Britain, with 100,000 more marked for destruction.

Consumers on both sides of the Atlantic, who want their meat products on the shelves but would like them free...

Many of Wolbach's rooms are already subdivided; partitions have been erected over the years to squeeze extra singles out of the suites' common-room space. Further partitioning would only leave the rooms cramped and awkwardly arranged. Furthermore, the kitchen spaces are long and narrow and do not naturally lend themselves to bedroom conversion. They cannot be removed from the building without seriously damaging Wolbach's appealing character. The best way to alleviate...
