Pets & Animals > Animal Rights & Issues The problem of animal cruelty: 4 of 39

Tatiana, a Siberian tiger at the San Francisco Zoo, was shot and killed Christmas Day after killing one man, mauling two others and as she turned to face the officers who had drawn their guns. One man died at the scene and the other two are recovering from extensive bite and claw wounds. Tatiana is no doubt on the table unde...
Politics, News & Issues > Police & Prisons Readers share views on innocent people in prison: 6 of 15

We have all heard this story before: I DIDN'T DO IT. As a child, the lying may start when questioned about the whereabouts of the missing cookies. Crumbs on the tee shirt and chocolate chip smears about the lips do not stop the quick-talking denial of the obvious. After thorough interrogation, typically from a poker-faced pa...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Death of a horse: 12 of 27

Farewell to a Champion 5.3.08 Buried in work for most of the day, I glanced at the clock. Six p.m. I had promised myself I would do it this year: I would make it to the Kentucky Derby. But, as we all know, the best laid plans of mice and men often take turns we can not control. Still I took a moment, imagining the excitement...
Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Commentary: NY Governor Spitzer and the prostitution scandal: 24 of 51

We are riveted by news this week of the undoing of Eliot Spitzer. A huge fall from grace ironically orchestrated by the very thing he valiantly fought in the past.

The art of being a lady is knowing when not to be too much of one. Hillary Clinton certainly fits that description.. Exhibiting her tenacity at every turn, she continues to push forth as the trail gets muddier, even though she stumbles and falls, even though less and less around her are holding out a hand to pull her up. She...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Did Drew Peterson kill his wife?: 2 of 4

Drew Peterson is starting to unravel. Why else would we see a kinder, gentler Drew with Matt Lauer-an extreme makeover, demure and quiet? His plastic, professorial television appearance was a vain attempt to mask the sociopath underneath the collegiate attire. All that was missing were the suede elbow patches and a pipe. The...

Montana governor, Brian Schweitzer, gave a high school commencement speech this spring to a graduating class of one, embracing the opportunity to honor the young man who had worked diligently to gain all the educational requirements necessary to graduate. Governor Schweitzer made certain this young man experienced all the po...
Politics, News & Issues > News (Other) Who really killed Maria Lauterbach?: 1 of 1

Maria Lauterbach's case is a study in stark contrast to the tragedy of Meredith Emerson, the missing hiker in Georgia, where hundreds mobilized immediately to help find the missing woman. Maria Lauterbach was not so fortunate. She had the Marine Corps looking out for her best interest-or for theirs. Though her senior officer...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Saving the environment: 44 of 80

Allison's survival is really our own. Baby steps, or baby strokes, are in Allisons future thanks to the work of a handful of people who changed her destiny forever. The young Atlantic Green sea turtle, who lost three out of four flippers due to attempted predation as a baby, is in line to receive a prosthetic flipper that is...
Sciences > Anthropology (Other) The debate on Darwin's theory of evolution: 12 of 20

In natural selection, favorable heritable characteristics of a species tend to survive the unfavorable heritable traits, allowing for an enhancement of that species. This evolution ultimately influences survival rates as the species evolves to successfully meet its environmental challenges. The varied species of the Galapago...
