...weapons production -- everything from gloves to ball bearings. This material will , remain radioactive for millenniums. The U.S. has only one facility designed to store this production waste, but the opening of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, 655 m (2,150 ft.) underground in massive salt domes near Carlsbad, N. Mex., has been stymied by political wrangling and safety concerns. Last week the Department of Energy attempted to sidestep congressional deliberations on the matter and ship the first load of waste to the plant. It was halted after New Mexico filed a federal lawsuit, and the DOE agreed to postpone...

In a terrifying incident this week, a man, attempting to apprehend an alleged beer thief, was stabbed in the back three times, according to eyewitness accounts.

Staff members at backcountry camps are decked out as miners, trappers and other frontier characters to provide history lessons...
Until last summer, House, a former Marine Corps and All-Service welterweight boxing champion, was one of two instructors in Navajo language and culture at the Navajo Academy in Farmington, N. Mex. This fall there are three, but House is no longer among them. The academy draws its students from the vast, mostly desolate Navajo reservation next to this charm-free oil-and-gas town. The school has a Navajo headmaster and an all-Navajo board of trustees. It is the only Native American college-preparatory boarding school...
