...collected $50.4 million from nearly 70 government programs, including $14.9 million to run their tribal government, $1.3 million for law enforcement and almost $371,000 for food distribution. It adds up to an average of $5,700 for each member. In contrast, federal aid for the Navajo Nation, the poorest tribe in America, averaged $900 for each of its 260,000 members. The Navajo have no casino...
...changed between 1962, when Lott described himself as a segregationist, and the day last week when he repudiated segregation and all forms of racism? Lott told TIME that "it wasn't any one moment or epiphany" but rather many experiences, especially as he has got to know better the poorest parts of his home state.

Its young population could be an advantage for the E.U.'s looming imbalance between pensioners and workers, but its different cultural, military and, yes, religious traditions could change the face of Europe. Few people doubt that the prospect of eventual membership will spur Turkey to continue on the path of reform...
Already, the people of Bolivia are reeling from the shock. Thousands of Bolivians clamored into McDonald’s restaurants across the country to partake of Ronald’s last supper; some inhabitants of South America’s poorest nation saved up for the entire week to pay for this indulgence. Not only have Bolivians lost its premier provider of Americana, but McDonald’s just lost its highest-elevation branch (in La Paz). And the biggest loser in all of this is the USA, which just lost its greatest ambassador...
