Challenging the stereotype of Indians as uncompromising conservationists, more than 200 individual Navajo landowners have quietly leased 1,440 acres to Hydro Resources Inc., an Albuquerque company that plans to mine uranium ore from a local aquifer (a layer of water-bearing rock). The company has promised a lucrative payoff: more than $40,000 for each property it leases, plus royalties as high as 25% on the sale of the uranium ore. For some Navajo landowners that could translate into more than $1 million a year--a nice paycheck anywhere, but especially in a region with double-digit unemployment...
...broad mental categories which have titles like "people who seem as if they may be named James." This inadequacy in my memory was a persistent problem during the past school year when I taught a class of fifth graders non-violent conflict resolution skills with the organization Peace Games, Inc. Those ten-and eleven-year-olds in Dorchester were an energetic and cynical audience.

Stacy Murphy, 34, multimedia director at ADM Productions Inc., a production and video company based in Port Washington, N.Y., is spending his Wednesday nights at school.

"In many ways this is what we've been doing for nearly 100 years," says Randy Heiple, vice president of advertising production for catalog giant Spiegel Inc., which ventured online in 1995 and has been ravenously growing ever since. Today the Net accounts for less than 5% of the Spiegel catalog's overall sales, but that share has grown fivefold or more in each of the past three years; sales and circulation of Spiegel's catalogs, meanwhile, have...
...from the New Yorker or Vanity Fair (or any number of other magazines) remains unclear. For his part, Weinstein says that despite his reputation as a control freak (filmmakers have nicknamed him Harvey Scissorhands), the new magazine won't have any more trouble from him than TIME and (Time Inc.-owned) ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY get from their corporate cousin, Warner Bros. co-chairman Terry Semel. When a reporter notes that those magazines don't report to Semel--and weren't expressly conceived to funnel ideas to Warner Bros.--Brown interjects that the proof of integrity will ultimately lie, as it should...
