Quotations: Shirley Manson – I get female groupies, but I don’t get male groupies. I have women who offer to sleep with me all the time. But not men. They’re all talk and nay action as we’d say in Scotland. If I go anywhere near most of our male following, they are freaked. Absolutely freaked. I think my height has got a lot to do with it. I’m really tall. I’m five-eight, and with heels, I’m six foot, so people are like. ‘Whoa, Amazon!’ People are a wee taken aback by that ’cause I think people expect me to be small.

Gregory Asner – People have been monitoring large-scale deforestation in the Amazon with satellites for more than two decades, but selective logging has been mostly invisible until now.
