...discordant note for visitors is struck by the fact that the monoliths rest within the foul embrace of two busy highways, the A344 and A303, the latter a major route to England's West Country that's often awash with heavy traffic. The constant whoosh of highway noise makes quiet reflection impossible at what many consider sacred ground, and nearly every vista is marred by cars and trucks whizzing - or, too often, crawling - by in the background. "It would be more reverent to the site if there was no traffic," says Don Ghostlaw, from Tolland, Conn., who on a recent...

A new accord struck in 1988 recognized the plant's traditional attributes and allowed for limited local use, while anti-narcotics forces continued to work to wipe out coca's drug-related cultivation, destroy the labs that process it into cocaine and intercept traffickers. But this month's INCB report seeks to end that uneasy arrangement. A big reason is that despite the decades-long, multi-billion-dollar drug war in Latin America, cocaine production has remained stable at best. Criminalizing even traditional coca use may be the only means...
