...California, the stakes are more specific, and considerably higher.

Thirteen may not sound like a large number, but it is for an endangered species whose population was down to a mere 22 in the 1980s and now, after two decades of capturing and breeding, still only hovers at 279 individual birds.

The residents of al-Amel hid in their houses during a firefight between an armed gang and the Iraqi army as U.S. Apache attack helicopters provided cover overhead. Meanwhile, the Shaab market echoed with the sound of workmen shoveling glass and rubble onto flatbed trucks, cleaning up from the day before (which was a bad day because two suicide bombers exploded themselves in a crowd of shoppers, killing at least 82 and wounding scores more...
