East and Southeast Asia these days are capitalism unbound, the "communist" world as America's Wild West, complete with its own snake-oil salesmen and robber barons. The People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam have seen the Wild East, and they like what they...
...Before they can really come together as a team, each player must exorcise his own demon. Tom Berenger is Jake Taylon, the arthritic catcher who must deal with retirement; Omar Epps is Willie Mays Hayes who has forsaken baseball for Hollywood glitz: Charlie Sheen reprises his role as Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn, the sport's bad boy who has traded in his Harley for Armani suits, a therapist, and cheesy cereal commercials.

Schaller and many other ; conservationists dismiss this approach as both inefficient and unrealistic. Tigers learn from their mothers subtle details about hunting that would be difficult for human mentors to teach. And once tigers have disappeared from an area, Schaller notes, it becomes extremely difficult to convince villagers that they should welcome the animals back. "It would cost millions to breed and reintroduce tigers," says the biologist. "If Asian...
