...Korenek drives his 90-ft. rig from Santa Fe to Washington this week, heads may turn. After all, it's not every day a gargantuan blue spruce is moved from the forests of northern New Mexico to the groomed lawns of Capitol Hill. This is the first year a living tree -- complete with a 40-ton root ball -- will serve as the nation's Christmas symbol. The 60-ft. giant will be garnished with strings of chili-pepper lights and 10,000 handmade ornaments from New Mexico, including silver coyotes, miniature pueblos, tin stars and brass jewelry...

Santa Fe Southern Pacific, which borrowed $4 billion to elude a hostile takeover bid in 1987, managed to repay the debt last March, four years ahead of schedule.

Media and entertainment giant Time Warner, which has nearly $11 billion in borrowings, hopes to grow its way out of debt without selling off assets. Says N.J. Nicholas, co-chief executive: "We can live with debt. It only...
DIED. Eliot Porter, 88, conservationist whose dramatic color photography brought new legitimacy to that genre; in Santa Fe. As a young man, fearing that his love of photographing birds was unsuitable for a career, Porter earned an M.D. at the Harvard Medical School and taught biochemistry for 10 years. He quit teaching in 1939 to produce such works as The Flow of Wildness, about the Galapagos Islands; The Tree Where Man Was Born, which explored Africa; and Antarctica. His 1972 book Birds of North America is regarded as a classic...
