Revolutionaries with Wings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On a hot January night in 1981, a group of 22 men met outside the Muñiz Air National Guard Base, nine miles east of San Juan, Puerto Rico. They were dressed as servicemen, wearing fatigues with backpacks slung over their shoulders. The group cut a hole in the chain link fence and slipped onto the base.

This bear, a subspecies of brown bear, had lived in California for millennia and had a population that likely numbered around 10,000 before European colonization. When Spanish and Americans settlers arrived, however, they quickly came into conflict with the bears. Humans’ firearms, traps, and poison turned predator into prey, and the California brown bear began declining precipi
