...also of practices that destroy the ocean-floor habitats that feed and protect schools of commercial fish. Factory trawlers scare up schools by dragging heavy chains over the sea bottom, uprooting aquatic plants and killing coral and shellfish. Migrating fish, such as salmon, are caught before they can spawn, thus killing their progeny as well. This one-two punch has contributed to the endangerment of many species, even those that are not pursued for their food value. The good news? Once the damaging practices end, depleted fisheries have shown a surprising capacity to revive...
...criticism growing louder as a result of the crisis: that in his impressive but authoritarian crusade to end Peru's long night of guerrilla terrorism--especially the atrocities of the Maoist-inspired Shining Path--he has ended up exacerbating the poverty and human-rights abuses that helped spawn rebellion in the first place...

Thus, this album may not spawn as many hit singles as Sons of Soul. However, the entire album has a consistently soothing sound that makes it the perfect companion to champagne and candlelight...
...heinous document was thrust into the face of all Latinos, whether they are citizens or not? Surprisingly, very little.

...dwindling of reefs in the world's oceans, scientists acknowledge, will not immediately destroy the organisms that build them. Many corals spawn en masse, releasing a vast pinkish slick of fertilized eggs that ride ocean currents for hundreds of miles. In the natural cycle, one reef rises as another declines. This cycle is what humans are now disrupting, however, and no one can foresee what the consequences will be. Creating more marine preserves can help, but even if the reefs are patrolled by armed guards, they may not be able to withstand the twin juggernauts of exploding population...
