Navajo, Ariz. (pop. 24), has much to offer: history (it was Arizona's first territorial capital), location (on Interstate 40 just south of the huge Navajo Indian Reservation and east of the popular Painted Desert and Petrified Forest National Park) and profit ($100,000 a year from its motel, café, service station and general store). As a result, Navajo has six new owners: Don and Rita Schwinghamer of Phoenix, Don's cousin Frank Schwinghamer and his wife Ann, from Canada, and their close friends Len and Betty Siebert of Bellevue, Wash...
...usually with catastrophic results. Russia helped partition Poland out of existence in the 18th century, and Polish uprisings were crushed by Catherine the Great in 1794, Nicholas I in 1831 and Alexander II in 1864.

Admits Idaho Democratic Senator Frank Church, who was voted out of office last month: "As beneficiaries...
...shot. Later, after the lord. Shingen, has been assassinated, we learn that he was called the Moutain, that the Moutain did not move, and therein was his strength as a ruler and a warrior. Under his leadership, armies could move "swift as the wind, quiet as a forest, fierce as fire," and in spite of occasional cruelties, he maintained order and defeated his enemies in battle. But--oh, Lord--how fragile is that order, how fleeting the lord's life, how quick to descend are the forces of chaos when Shingen's heir rebels against a powerful tradition...
