quote of the week
"When a man wants to murder a tiger, he calls it sport; when the tiger wants to murder him, he calls it ferocity. The distinction between crime and justice is no greater."
George Bernard Shaw
fact of the week
Tigers prey primarily on wild boar (Sus scrofa) and other swine, and medium to large deer such as chital (Axis axis), red deer (Cervus elaphus), and sambar (C. unicolor). Where they occur together, tigers also hunt gaur (Bos frontalis), a huge wild cattle. Tigers also kill domestic animals such as cows and goats, and occasionally kill people.

Truman impersonator to present at Dole
The Dole Institute of Politics will play host to a free event Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. "Words to the Wise from Harry S. Truman," will feature Neil Johnson, historian and interpreter. Johnson will impersonate former President Truman.
Johnson will answer audience questions as if he were Truman.
"We're guaranteed a lively question-and-answer session after Niel Johnson's well-researched Truman persona takes over," said Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute. "Obviously, it's the closest we'll ever get to conversing with such a historical figure."
Johnson is regarded as a Truman expert because he was an archivist and oral historian at the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, Missouri and he authored "Power, Money and Women: Words to the Wise from Harry S. Truman."
CORRECTION
He will sign books at the end of the program.
