5. -06-11-06 Slaughter of Whales May Begin Again (New York Times)
   "The future of the 20-year-old ban [on killing whales] appears shakier than ever, despite its success in forcing pro-whaling nations to largely leave whales alone to recover after hundreds of years of hunting that took them to the brink of extinction. Between 1904 and 1986 about 2 million whales were killed in the southern hemisphere alone. By the early 1980s, unregulated whaling had reduced the number of humpback and grey whales by an estimated 98 per cent." 06-06
