...general may be banished. Indians who challenge the system are often intimidated, harassed and threatened with reprisals or physical harm. They risk the loss of their jobs, homes and income. Margarite Faras, a member of the San Carlos Apache tribe, which owns the Apache Gold Casino in San Carlos, Ariz., was ousted from the tribal council after exposing corruption that led to the imprisonment of a former tribal leader. For three years, Faras says, those in control mounted nighttime demonstrations at her home, complete with loudspeakers. They initiated a boycott of her taco business, telling everyone she used cat meat...
...Presbyterian churches in the Chicago area.

TeleFlage founder Nancy Tuggle got into the business after serving on a planning board in a San Diego suburb that nixed a proposed tower in someone's backyard. She directed PacBell to a nearby school and six years later is forming a coalition of camouflagers to help companies expand their networks by educating the public...

McCain (R-Ariz.) on his Straight Talk Express, by bowtied political pundits on Sunday morning talk shows and by toupeed legislators on Congressional floors. A federal judicial panel is now the center of the ideological battle in a suit challenging the constitutionality of the new “Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002.” It has pitted an unlikely alliance of the American Civil Liberties Union and former Lewinskygate prosecutor Kenneth Starr against McCain and former President Clinton’s Solicitor...
