...waged largely by miner Frank Leone Jr., 53. He has gone on the midnight shift and stopped attending his beloved archery meets to make time for a series of rearguard actions against the deal. He has dogged the heels of state bureaucrats to block Mettiki and its coal-carrying trucks from getting what the union miners consider regulatory breaks. He protested when the state issued new permits to allow for airborne dust generated by more truck traffic to the power plant; he protested when the state granted permission for Mettiki to use a private haul road, and he protested when...
...truck rumbles into the pasture, a bovine maternity ward. Here a gawky newborn nuzzles its mother; there a fetal head and two hooves peek from the hindquarters of a cow that's ambling, wholly unconcerned, through the field.

"The elephant," says John Hutton, Zimbabwe project director of the British-based Africa Resources Trust, "was never endangered in this part of Africa...

That gives him Comcast's stake in @Home Network , an online service that uses cable modems to provide rapid access to the Internet. TIME Business editor Bill Saporito?s view? ?Now Bill's got himself a delivery truck. Cable is such a capital-intensive industry because of the equipment. So for Comcast, which has a lot of debt, money is always welcome. It's not really a big deal yet. Gates has so much cash, something like $6 billion, lying around, he's got to do something with...
