...Friday, Italy's government formally agreed to participate once there are precise rules of engagement. "We don't hide the difficulties," said Italian Foreign Minister Massimo D'Alema, "but our country has to respond to the United Nations' appeal." Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has argued that Turkey cannot risk being sidelined in its own region, as it was in Iraq, and should therefore send troops to Lebanon. Spain and Belgium both await a clarification of the mandate, while Germany, unwilling to be placed in a situation where its soldiers could be forced to fire at Israeli soldiers, will...
...Other compromises are made with the farm's livestock. Stone Barns is raising roughly 450 turkeys this season, and most of them are Broad-Breasted Whites, the conventional breed you can buy in a regular grocery store. The Whites are distinguished by their genetically huge breasts and - as a consequence - their inability to have sex with one another.

Other technologies have contributed; tuna-ranching companies fly spotter planes throughout May over prime breeding grounds off Algeria, Libya and Turkey to track shoals of tuna. (During the rest of the breeding season, the flights are banned by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas [iccat], which sets international rules.) COLLAPSING Convinced that countries are fishing the Mediterranean's stock into extinction, the wwf last year commissioned industry consultants...
