What struck Bagemihl most is those forms that go beyond mere sexual gratification. Humboldt penguins may have homosexual unions that last six years; male greylag geese may stay paired for 15 years--a lifetime commitment when you've got the lifespan of a goose. Bears and some other mammals may bring their young into homosexual unions, raising them with their same-sex partner just as they would with a member of the opposite...
Anyone reading your article on the Headwaters Forest issue in California's Humboldt County would think the only relevant participants in this discussion are Earth First and the Sierra Club. That is wrong. The Headwaters Agreement is the last best hope to save the Headwaters redwoods and end more than 10 years of bitter controversy. The plan will protect the environment of the area surrounding the Headwaters as well as the fish and wildlife that inhabit those lands. The product of more than two years of negotiations with state and federal officials, it is the most comprehensive conservation and resource...
Your article on the clash between Earth First activists trying to save redwoods in California's Humboldt County and the Pacific Lumber Co. [ENVIRONMENT, Sept. 28] was imbalanced and inaccurate. You charged that the Interior Department is engaged in "federal nonfeasance" in negotiating habitat conservation plans (HCPs) with landowners under the Endangered Species Act.

HCPs allow us to rely on protected habitats for species across wide tracts of land for years to come, which...
What Zemsky wants to know is this: What does a degree from Harvard, Hamilton or Humboldt State get you in life? Is it worth the investment? To test his methodology, Zemsky identified seven market segments and recruited 15 institutions--members of the 160-campus Knight Collaborative--that spread across all seven. He had them survey their class-of-1992 graduates six years out of college. Over the course of nine months, the participating schools were able to get a 48% response rate...
Activists reported repeated violations of court orders, federal environmental rules and state forestry regulations. They filed lawsuits, won judgments and saw little change. Pacific Lumber stonewalled and talked of jobs. The mood in Humboldt County, where the only good jobs had always been in the woods or the mills, turned rancid. When protesters conducted peaceful sit-ins at the company's headquarters and the office of U.S. Congressman Frank Riggs, the sheriff's department daubed pepper spray near their eyes and taped the process for a training film. A lawsuit by the protesters resulted in a hung jury, with...
