When he bought his first 107 acres in 1987, Conway's vision for Turtle Island was as "a tiny bowl in the earth, intact and natural, surrounded by pavement and highways." People peering inside from nearby ridges would see "a pristine and green example of what the whole world once looked...

But the question remains: How could the crimes...

Sara Petersen was not even halfway into her 14-hour double shift... The two men were in their 30s. They were fairly low-key. Their order - some beers and a sandwich and the raspberry chicken - was simple. The 22-year-old gave brisk, good service but otherwise hardly gave it a thought until the men got up to leave. What happened then made her smile, then cry, then smile again. Later, Sara would tell me she wished she would have said thank you. A few more times. Because in a long tradition of wait staff, she makes the exact same paltry $2.13...

An interesting side note. An employer friend of mine offered healthcare to his employees, all but one of whom are Mexican Hispanics, and they all refused. The employer was going to pay 80% of the healthcare and had to have 80% participation to be able to effect it, but the employees all turned it down. The reason? They have access to CHIP in Texas for their children for free and will not have any money coming out of their paychecks for adult healthcare. Services are available for an inexpensive amount or free through other sources. Additionally, other sources tell me...
