...proposing to make the owl a threatened species, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may enable the birds, now numbering only about 2,500 pairs, to succeed where environmentalists have failed: it may halt or slow down an insatiable logging industry that has been turning ancient trees into lumber at the rate of more than 55,000 acres of old growth a year. But for the owl to prevail, its status as a threatened species must be formally declared, a process that may take another year.

If Sorrell were to succeed in taking over Ogilvy, his combined empire (estimated annual billings: $13.5 billion) would rank a close second to Britain's Saatchi & Saatchi, the world's largest ad firm. That may be more than a coincidence, for Sorrell was once the top financial officer for Saatchi. Rivals in the ad industry...
Deployment of North American military forces could succeed in ousting General Noriega. It would also diminish chances for an autonomous Panamanian democracy and inevitably reinforce Panamanian and all Latin American resentment and mistrust of the United States...
