...LATE 1960s, when Washington was still showing a degree of concern for the poor, the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) hired me to help investigate housing conditions on the Rosebud Sioux reservation in South Dakota. With a team of self-confessed experts I visited all 22 villages, from Two Strike to Milk's Camp, and discovered, among other this, that families there had much to endure. Many occupied dirt floor huts bereft of adequate heat and running water; some were forced to sleep, even to cook, in rusted-out car bodies. The families were virtually defenseless against the frequent...

...people I met during that chastening sojourn at Rosebud were Nancy and Sam White Horse, who lived in an unpainted shack atop a wintery knoll near the town of Mission. Born around the turn-of-the-century, they had spent most of their lives on the reservation, taking strong roles in tribal affairs and sharing with other members of the tribe in the manifold miseries as well as the sporadic improvements that came their way: the new schools, the modernized health facilities and the paved roads that were occasionally vouchsafed to the Sioux of Rosebud...

It has the chintz-covered drawing room of a grand country house, a swimming pool, ballroom, chapel, theater and elegantly appointed bedroom suites-the Queen's with rosebud curtains, the Prince's in a more austere navy style. This ship is not for the frugal: it burns a ton of oil every seven miles. The ship's 26 officers and 254 crewmen all give their orders in stage whispers so as not to disturb the royal...

...Spielberg, 34, he too was dealing with-and for-legends last week. Making a long-distance telephone bid of $60,500 to an auction at Sotheby's in New York City, Spielberg acquired that most famous of cinematic props, the symbolic sled Rosebud from Orson Welles' masterpiece, Citizen Kane. It was the highest amount of money ever paid for a piece of movie memorabilia, but Spielberg was unfazed.
