Such inequities occur not only with BIA funds. A TIME examination of spending by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) shows that tribes with casinos often pull in more HUD money per capita than casino-less, poor tribes. Over the past four years, while HUD has handed the Florida Seminoles housing funds averaging $2,800 per member, the tribe's five casinos have generated nearly $1 billion in revenue. The Mississippi Choctaw tribe, with its lucrative Silver Star Resort & Casino, pocketed an average of $5,900 in HUD funds per person. By contrast, the Navajo, the country...
...survive his victory. Ruthless toughs mingle with 1860s gentry in a colossal mix of Scorsese's Mean Streets and The Age of Innocence. Gangs is the director's proclamation that all his movies about belligerent young men are modern-dress versions of a crucial melodrama that shaped urban America.

We hope that our pictures and posters dispel this myth...
...smokin', especially among teens. About 70% of the tobacco smoked in India is in the form of bidis, but the product didn't take off in the U.S. until recently. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 2% to 5% of teens nationwide and up to 40% in some urban areas, like Boston, have lighted up a bidi at least once. Even more troubling: young smokers think this hip alternative to Marlboro Country is harmless...
