...trouble first surfaced about three years ago. Rangers in Pilanesberg National Park, in northwestern South Africa, began to notice that white rhinos were being killed at the rate of about one a month.

...many fans of Independence Day, The X-Files and alien-autopsy videos know, Roswell is the town in southeastern New Mexico famous for a UFO crash that allegedly took place in 1947; the military, so the story goes, recovered some alien remains--and has kept them locked up ever since in a top-secret deep freeze. The Pentagon maintains that what it really recovered was the remains of a sophisticated, secret, surveillance balloon. But who would want to celebrate the 50th anniversary of that? So this summer, from July 1 through July 6, the town will be host to Roswell...
