...Heitz says. It's not flashy, but it follows the rules, pays the bills and, over time, it will keep these great animals in the water. "By eating a certain product, you're part of the problem, or part of the solution." Heitz wants to be on the solution side. Once, when he was scuba-diving off General Santos' coast, two yellowfin torpedoed past. "It was like a motorcycle was going by," he says, crouching slightly, staring straight ahead and moving his shoulders back and forth to mimic the fish's muscular energy. "If I hadn't seen it with...

At first the border guards tried to check passports, but they quickly realized it was futile. The masses surged through. Many of them ran.

Now, however, Washington has moderated its demands on the Israelis, mindful that there's a line beyond which...
...political class has faltered in the two years since the election. For months, the various factions in the bloated coalition government have squabbled over how to pursue those involved in the violence. And on Thursday, President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga stood by Moreno-Ocampo's side, watching silently as it took an outsider to finally start the justice process moving.
