...Rather than going after the Hizballah arms caches, rocket arsenals and bunkers in the areas they control, Israel has ordered its troops simply to defend themselves from direct attack. To systematically pursue Hizballah fighters south of the Litani would effectively restart the war, and add to the Israeli casualty toll in pursuit of limited gains...

...reduce the toll? With difficulty, says Ramp. "Most of the options are things people aren't willing to do." Redesigning roads to incorporate overpasses, underpasses or fencing would cost billions of dollars; deterrent devices fitted to vehicles simply don't work; experiments with spreading predator scents along the verges have been unsuccessful. The simplest solution would be for drivers in the bush-especially those at the wheels of big trucks, which are the most murderous-to change their attitude: stay alert, slow down on single-lane highways, try not to drive when animal activity peaks at dawn and dusk...

...from a watch, compass and flagpoles to state-of-the-art stuff," says Steele, 49. Throw in quotas and faster boats, and "it's a day game now." Still, in fishing season the days start at about 3 a.m. and leave Steele exhausted. Decades at sea have taken their toll on his skin and his hearing: "I'm half-deaf from the rumble of motors...
