COVER STORY
AMERICA'S TROUBLED WATERS - Can They be Saved?
Peter Lourie, a chronicler of river life, says that rivers are living mysteries, linking the past to the future. Today, that link has been largely broken. Through damming, dredging and channelization, we have changed the way rivers flow—diverting water to generate hydropower, support navigation and irrigate crops. Half of our drinking water still comes from rivers, yet non-point source pollution poses an ongoing threat.
FEATURES
SCORCHED EARTH POLICY
When environmental leaders talk about the Bush Administration’s team—Secretary of Interior Gale Norton, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head Christine Todd Whitman and Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham—the operative word is “scary.”
NORTH TO ALASKA - Treading Lightly is the Green Alternative to the Cruise Ship Scene

CONVERSATIONS
IN HIS OWN WORDS - Ralph Nader Responds to His Critics
When it comes to post-mortems of the 2000 Presidential race, there’s certainly no shortage of anger at the Green Party’s candidate, consumer advocate Ralph Nader. “This changes his legacy as a person,” says Deborah Callahan, president of the League of Conservation Voters. “Ralph Nader is no friend of American women,” adds Kate Michelman, president of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League. Some environmentalists hold him responsible for what is likely to be four years of running skirmishes with the Bush Administration.
