Mustang: The Saga of the Wild Horse in the American West
Deanne Stillman
@wezylinn Yes, progress at hand. "In 2006 Ellie Phipps Price read a book (Deanne Stillman’s Mustang) and a Vanity Fair article, Galloping Scared, that inspired her current activism." She is now president of the @FreeWildHorses, a group that's made a difference. https://t.co/EGjrpsYzDl https://t.co/TqCKEXhn4G

James Bond: Casino Royale Signed by Van Jensen
Ian Fleming
@GuardianBooks An unfortunate development of recent years. But evidently Ian Fleming himself was ok with the proposed changes to his James Bond novels, so that's a different ball game.

Dances with Wolves
Michael Blake
@nywolforg I'd draw attention to my open letter to the killer of Cecil the Lion, invoking the stories of hunters such as Aldo Leopold who laid down their arms and became wolf advocates. It's also an elegy for my friend Michael Blake, who wrote "Dances with Wolves." https://t.co/RLYZcRYxLj https://t.co/iFmblwKj4m
