Northeastern Minnesota, sometimes called the Arrowhead Country because of its shape, begins at the rugged Misquah Hills and Giants Range, a sharp granite ridge as high as 500 ft. To the southeast rises the Mesabi Range, a rocky belt that used to produce 82% of the nation's iron ore and still yields 63% in iron and taconite, the iron pellets sifted magnetically from huge loads of earth. Below the Canadian border stretch vast expanses of forests and lakes, a region of shaggy and pristine beauty. Timber wolves roam there. Moose can be seen feeding in the clearings. Sometimes...

They have yet to find a hostile message. Florists' vans turn up daily with bouquets of roses or carnations, and the neighbors bring gifts of food. Since Calley is still considered an officer...
...house. Gregarious and social?during the trial he never liked to be alone?he is a partygoer, a host; in restaurants he is always the one to stand up and welcome latecomers, making sure that the waiters notice their arrival. But it is at home, an apartment on Arrowhead Road in Fort Benning, that Calley most enjoys himself...
