Lord knows I could use the money. I have too much credit card debt, eat too much pasta, and routinely glance at a fellow straphanger?s Wall Street Journal in the morning to try and save that 75 cents a day.

Most of the windows don't roll down; the passenger-side door opens only from the outside; and the paint is pocked with rust. But Jean doesn't care. All her $60,000 prize money went to Loire Vivante, the umbrella group she has headed since 1987. Its mission: blocking a gargantuan dam-building project that could have destroyed beautiful landscape and fragile ecosystems surrounding Europe's last wild river...
