...species that have yet to be described - and that may be lost to extinction before we ever discover them. Our knowledge of this planet's incalculable richness is barely more complete than a flashlight's illumination of a tropical rainforest - brief and finite - but our capacity for destruction is limitless. Finally, our guide's passing beam catches the shining eyes of an indri in the night, reflecting back at us. It holds the light for a moment, and then, with a leap, it's gone...

...current size of its library notwithstanding, MySpace Music does a number of things that will excite music fans - and might help the social network fight off rival Facebook, which since April has surpassed it in monthly traffic.

That's not exactly the fault of the We Campaign, but it does point to the real challenge of what Gore and his allies have set out to do. Slowing carbon emissions, let alone reaching Gore's goal of 100% carbon-free electricity in a decade, will require...

There are some limits. The Louvre still takes its public-service mission very seriously, and its lending policy isn't limitless either: earlier this year, the Louvre pulled out of a show that a private promoter was mounting in Verona, Italy. The Louvre would have received $6.4 million for its participation, but the idea of working on a commercial basis with a private operator rather than a museum caused some concern among curators. Even Cason Thrash ran into restrictions on what she could do at her party: the museum drew the line at using candles and turned down her request...
