...dens in the winter to escape bad weather. When they emerge, they badly need to replenish their fat supplies, and slashing three weeks off the dining schedule does not help. Scientists who track bear populations report that fewer cubs are surviving into adulthood - never mind the ones that aren't getting born at all - and those adults that are observed are often thinner than they used to be. Some bears have been resorting to cannibalism to survive and others are simply turning up drowned, trapped in open water as they try to paddle to ice floes that have melted away...

They want local security forces instead to retake the city gradually. And in recent months a group of tribal leaders in Anbar Province has been working with U.S. forces in that effort, forming a coalition of sheiks who have sent hundreds...
Essayist James Poniewozik's "Ugly, the American" [Nov. 27] seemed to champion the cause of illegal immigrants, at least as they are depicted in the TV show Ugly Betty. It's easy for him to do, since most of the people sneaking into our country illegally aren't vying to pen pieces for TIME for a fraction of Poniewozik's salary. But American citizens and legal immigrants who face unemployment as a result of weak border security can't afford to be so glib. BOB HEANEY New York City...
