CONTENTS
A Curious Kinship:
Apes and Humans – By Eugene Linden, Photographs by Michael Nichols – From Awe
to indifference, caring to cruelty, contradictions mark our attitudes toward
our closest animal relatives, the great apes—orangutans, chimpanzees, bonobos,
and gorillas.
Bonobos, Chimpanzees
With a Difference – By Eugene Linden, Photographs by Frans Lanting – Found only
in the tropical forest of Zaire and declared a separate species in 1933,
bonobos, or pygmy chimpanzees, display decidedly unchimpanzee-like behavior.
Douglas MacArthur: An
American Soldier – By Geoffrey C Ward, Photographs by Cary Wolinsky – “It’s the
orders you disobey that make you famous.” So said the flamboyant, controversial
general who strode to a place in history by flouting convention.
Sacred Peaks of the
Andes – Article and photographs by Johan Reinhard – Ceremonial platforms atop
20,000-foot peaks yield Inca silver, gold, and mummified human remains,
sacrifices to local deities. Even today peoples of the high Andes worship the
mountain gods.
Lake Tahoe—Playing
for High Stakes – By Ernest B Furguson, Photographs by George F Mobley – Will
tight controls on land use save the famed blue waters of this Sierra Nevada
lake, already inundated with casinos, subdivisions, and vacationers? Place your
bets.
