The Navajo, a fast-growing tribe of hunters turned shepherds, arrived about 500 years later but proved more aggressive and dynamic.

Hopi Chairman Ivan Sidney, 37, portrays his tribe as a peaceful people provoked to vengeance: "It's like growing up in a rough neighborhood. You have to get tough to protect your property rights...
...coming off his second $2 million season, and who has dominated men's tennis for the past year and a half, first-seeded Ivan Lendl of Czechoslovakia and Connecticut stirs minimal conversation at Wimbledon.

In the weekly two-hour sessions, Tcherepnin stresses understanding the technology and creativity required to create electronic music. He says he tells the musicians to use their minds rather than relying on their equipment. "All music starts out as electronics in the brain. Our heads are the most important synthesizers of all," he says. The professor, who came to Harvard 14 years ago, encourages students to do original work. "Rather than attempting to reproduce what has been done...
