...numerous contracts available. Some centers require supplemental medical insurance to cover acute hospital care, while others do not. Some exclude prior ailments from coverage. Many continuing-care communities charge extra for nursing care and thus do not fit the narrowest definition of life-care facilities. At the Pueblo Norte Retirement Village in Scottsdale, Ariz., for example, members are refunded 90% of their entry fee and no longer make their regular monthly payments if they are permanently transferred to the nursing home. But they are charged up to $65 a day for nursing care. That works out to more than...
Indians from New Mexico's pueblos have been a pivotal part of the U.S. Forest Service's Southwest Firefighters Unit since the early 1950s. High spirited, and paid $7.05 an hour, the Jemez Pueblo's Eagles are among the proudest of all the smoke eaters and are often sought out to help battle fires throughout the West. Last week four of the 102-member group were killed and 17 others injured when their truck overturned off a mountain road in Idaho, where they had been fighting a forest fire. Just as the Jemez community (pop. 2,800) always turned...
Private roadways are common enough in the U.S., but private expressways are another matter. Last week a group of businessmen announced a plan to build a 200-mile, four-lane private toll road that would link the Colorado cities of Fort Collins and Pueblo. Since no Government funds would be used for the project, the road would be exempt from the federal 55-m.p.h. speed limit and would allow cruising at up to 80 m.p.h. Under the terms of an 1883 state law, private investors can, in some cases, gain the power of eminent domain to build a road...
...Southwestern U.S. in the middle of the 16th century, and Native American Catholics today number about 400,000. But not until last week was an Indian admitted to the church's hierarchy. In a colorful ordination Mass, combining standard Catholic liturgy with the chants and dances of the Navajo, Pueblo and Apache tribes, Donald Pelotte, 41, an Abenaki from the far-off Algonquin nation (the Northeastern U.S.) became bishop of the 45,000-member New Mexico and Arizona diocese of Gallup...
Martin Cruz Smith is no stranger to risky fusions. He is the author of Gorky Park, a story of Communists and furriers. Scientists and Indians seem just as incongruous, even though the two groups actually did share the stage at a critical moment in history. Smith, who is half Pueblo Indian, has a good grip on the Southwest, a region that drew many artists and intellectuals decades before J. Robert Oppenheimer suggested Los Alamos, N. Mex., as an ideal research and engineering site for the Manhattan Project. Ground zero on July 16, 1945, was more than 150 miles south...
