Given the strains between monkey and modern man, some Indians believe the only solution is to return the animals to the wild. But even that wouldn't end the debate. Environmentalists point out that Delhi's monkeys have become urbanized and may not survive in the wild. Activists also complain that in the process of rounding up monkeys, many are injured and babies get separated from mothers. "We have to tackle this another way," says Gautam Grover, head of the protection group Animal Saviour. "We took their land, we took their trees, we took their forests, and now we just...
...what does this mean for 2007 and 2008, if Democrats do win one or both houses of Congress? Certain kinds of legislation that the G.O.P. has passed over the last four years over Democratic opposition, such as tort reform and and limits to late-term abortions, probably wouldn't be put on the floor for votes if Democrats ran the House.

We swoon at such traits in people and animals, which is one evolutionary explanation for why we rush to the aid of a lost child or stray puppy instead of, you know, eating them.

"If everyone in the U.S. started eating sustainable seafood," says Worldwatch Institute senior researcher Brian Halweil, "it would be wonderful, but it wouldn't address the global issues. We're at the very beginning of this...
...Well, I do get joy out of it. It's not smooth sailing by any means, but I enjoy a great deal of it, otherwise I wouldn't do it. But I also know that if you're going to try and change things - change anything really - you'd better be prepared to find yourself in the headquarters of hell. That's just how it works. But with resistance comes growth. If you go to a gym and lift weights and it's easy then your muscles aren't going to grow. Your muscles grow because you're struggling against...
