What followed was the epitome of small-town activism. First came the NOBODY OWNS KATONAH T shirts and the Marthometer, a parody newspaper handed out at the commuter-train station. By summer, a fund raiser to cover legal bills had been put together; local musician Marc Black sang about Chief Katonah, the town's Native American namesake, as members of the Ramapough Lenape Indian nation, who had been enlisted to share in the outrage, looked on. Two recent high school grads took to the Internet with another protest song ("You're a craftsman who can make a vase...
Free-market health-care experts note that most types of insurance--think of homeowners' insurance--cover major expenses that have a low likelihood of happening to any individual rather than routine and predictable expenses. Thanks to the existing tax break, health premiums have become a way of prepaying for medical care. Under Bush's plan, a lot of people would buy cheap insurance policies that cover emergencies while paying for routine care out of pocket.

Environmentalists should know they'll never fix the Everglades or coastal Louisiana without fixing the corps. But even they enjoy the smell of pork--when it's theirs...
...made her case at a meeting of the Geological Society of America. Geologists have known for centuries that a swath of central India was buried by a series of eruptions at around the time of the dinosaurs' demise. The remains of the flows, known as the Deccan Traps, still cover some 193,000 sq. mi. (500,000 sq km). The eruptions would have poured carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide into the air, triggering runaway global warming and acid rain. That's bad news for living things, but it has never been clear if the eruptions were sufficiently well timed...
...imagine the near impossibility of culling from a mountain of great photos the one image that reveals the essence of a harrowing story that took days to convey in newspapers and on radio and TV. But the cover picture of a lone firefighter kneeling to check a fire-hose connection against the background of a tree erupting in a ball of flame summed up Californians' frustration and helplessness. The Dantesque orange glow bathing the entire scene imparted a netherworld aura to the image and gave me the uncomfortable feeling that there was no escape. I was arrested by a stark...
