His hope was that it could help improve race relations in Cincinnati--it was only in 2002 that the Ku Klux Klan stopped its annual mounting of a Christmas tree in the city's main square. The desire for reconciliation is built into the center's DNA. Its focus, says Spencer Crew, its executive director, "is not about finger pointing...
...North Shore of Lake Superior, so many delightful things that tip the balance. Is this not so? The parent prays that it is so. I hear my daughter in the yard, laughing.

Coolly, with utter confidence, a mature lioness--the oldest of the seven-member pride--approaches. A 3-year-old male tries to scare her off with a snarl, but she lunges at him, baring her teeth and biting at his neck. After...

Tigers returned to the area, and locals are able to harvest timber, fuel wood and grasses according to a strict management plan. Local people also benefit directly from the return of wildlife. They collected about $73,000 last year from tourists who came to see tigers, elephants and rhinos in their forest...
