FEATURE STORIES
The Hunt for Red Gold
by Mark Jacobson
Miskito Indian divers can still recall a time when they could wade into the Caribbean shallows and harvest lobsters with their bare hands. But then the big American seafood corporations moved in, and each new processing plant, each new boat fleet, drove the divers into deeper and more perilous waters in search of "red gold" for our dinner table. When these men emerge from the sea crippled and bent, who will save them? The answer: Bob Izdepski and his chamber of salvation.
A Voice in the Wilderness
by Elizabeth Royte
Martha Marks was a retired teacher and steadfast Republican,
living a quiet life in suburban Illinois, when developers decided to tear up a 100-year-old golf course with its ancient oaks and fields of wildflowers. Soon after, Marks founded Republicans for Environmental Protection. Her message: It's not just "liberal
wackos" who care about the environment.
A Thirsty Nation
by Tim Folger
What happened on Arizona's parched Black Mesa 40 years ago?
Hopi leaders say they were bamboozled by a greedy energy company and a two-timing lawyer into selling the rights to their coal and their water for absurdly low prices. (Sound familiar?) Although the money has gotten better over the years, now the tribe's springs are running dry. The survival of the Hopi depends on the water and the cash, but they may be forced to choose.
