Close encounters of the unkind kind

Article Abstract:

Bolivia's humid wetlands, which take the back flow from the rivers which flow down the eastern Andes and into the Amazon, are best approached from the river port of Rurrenabaque. From there, the visitor travels by motor canoe through a landscape which becomes increasingly flooded. It is possible to view a wide range of wildlife, including snakes, alligators, piranhas and cabybara. The most fascinating animals are the river dolphins, which are pale pink in colour and have angular fins and long thin snouts.

Individual rights have always been valued by humankind. When an individual ruler converts collective authority to personal monopoly, society reflects tension, Rebellion may stem from these violations.

Fat cats

Article Abstract:

Male rock stars today are allowed to be heavier than their bean-pole predecessors, and weight does not seem to affect their popularity. Members of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Matchbox 20, and Smash Mouth are less than svelte but have no problem selling records.
