...Mohawk reservation appeals to smugglers because its status as a tribal reserve makes it a no-go area for law enforcement officials. Even the military has declared it a "red zone" and has refused to fly over it since a medical helicopter was shot down on a nearby reservation years ago. At the edge of the 16,000-acre reservation, a sign boldly warns the FBI, state police and IRS to keep out. "It is a jurisdictional and geographic nightmare," says Ashlaw, who only enters the reservation escorted by the tribal police. This year the border patrol has made...
...pierce or tattoo that very skin. Yet increasingly they do. Tattooing and piercing, once the preference of biker chicks and sailors on shore leave, are attracting ever younger recruits. Chances are that someday soon your 12-year-old--the same kid who cried real tears over getting a booster shot at her last annual checkup--will be bugging you for a naval piercing or a tattoo of James Van Der Beek's face on her midriff...

The purity of Dequenne's performance inspires awe. To a grubby life she brings dignity, clarity, passion, glory...
...Kosovo today as there were in the months prior to the NATO campaign, but now Serbs are the main victims. Kosovo Albanians are purging the province of Serbian culture: license plates are being blacked out, accents dropped, and street signs lengthened to show Albanian pronunciation. A U.N. worker was shot three hours after arriving in Pristina last month for speaking Serbian. How should Clinton pronounce the name of the place? He has already shown a Clintonian flexibility. In speeches prior to the NATO bombing he used the Serbian "Ko-sovo." During the war, he switched to the Albanian...
