...interactions among rodents and, crucially, on contact between humans and wildlife. Madagascar is a good example. For decades, plague was restricted to the highlands, according to a 2004 paper by researchers in Madagascar, Senegal and France. But it showed up on the coast in 1991, when the Asian shrew somehow picked up infected fleas. The plague's earlier comeback in the inland capital, Antananarivo, arose as city sprawl and shoddy housing put residents in closer contact with black rats. In 1998, inland villages reported cases, too, perhaps caused by rats displaced through deforestation...
...shut up” and otherwise antagonized, Mr. Buckley lashes out: “Listen, you queer. Stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I’ll sock you in the god-damn face, and you will stay plastered.” Quaint postwar vernacular aside, the moment, somehow benign on the page, seems pretty ugly on video, in the light of day. From understandable rancor and an articulate tongue springs this petulant slur; Buckley seems at once less like a cultured commentator, and more like a prep-school prat, bullying...
Swithers stops short of saying that the animals in her study were compelled to overeat to compensate for phantom calories.

Despite his best efforts to remain vigilant, Vela fell asleep during his one-hour turn guarding the others. He was awakened by Al-Janabi, who had somehow gotten into their hideout and was standing just a few feet from him. Some of the men were so exhausted that they were difficult to rouse, even when told their position had been compromised. Once Hensley awoke and processed the seriousness of the situation, he took charge, pinning the man to the ground and searching him. The men spotted Al-Janabi's 15-year-old son nearby and gestured him into the hideout...
...bearing does this have on Mr. Jindal’s political beliefs? Is he not allowed to believe what he believes solely because the majority of people with brown skin disagree with him? These suggestions are absurd, but not nearly as appalling as her other suggestion: That Jindal is somehow forsaking his Indian heritage by attending Oxford and working for McKinsey. If these measures are the standards by which “race traitors” are judged, perhaps Sequeira should write an editorial denouncing Mohandas Gandhi or Barack Obama or the countless other Americans of color who are succeeding...
