COVER STORY
THE WORLD'S FISHERIES, A STATE OF EMERGENCY - Fishing Communities Learn to Cope With Diminished Expectation -- And New, Sustainable Technologies -- in New England and Texas' Gulf Coast
Without a rapid shift in attitude among commercial fishermen, managers, and politicians, fishing economies--and the fish that support them--will vanish.
MONEY TALKS - The Anti-Enviromentalists in the 104th Congress Feed at the Corporate Cash Trough
Though our elected representatives profess to vote their consciences, guided by their constituents' interests, other, unseen forces exert powerful pressure. No matter what the people want, when it costs $500,000 to run a successful campaign for the House of Representatives, and $20 million to win a presidential primary, cash contributors will have the upper hand.
CONVERSATIONS
RALPH NADER
In 1992, when he ran an independent candidacy for the presidency, consumer advocate Ralph Nader nailed a democratic agenda known as The Concord Principles on the church door of American politics. Presidential campaigns, it said, "have become narrow, shallow, redundant and frantic parades and horse races which candidates, their monetary backers, and their handlers control unilaterally."
