COVER STORY
JUST DOING IT! - Tired of Slacker Stereotypes, and Lip Service, Generation X Proves That Actions Speak Louder Than Words
A growing number of young adults have moved beyond the hallmark issues of Baby Boomers-"recycling, saving whales and hugging trees"--and onto a greater diversity of issues.
By William R. Buck and Tracey C. Rembert
THE FOREST PRIMEVAL - In the Pitched Battle Between Loggers and Environmentalists, a Timber Tinderbox Waits for a Match
There is a 40-acre stand of ancient trees near Chester, California in the heart of the dryland timber forest. The stand is dominated by towering 500-year-old, 200-foot Ponderosa pines. These trees, which were seedlings when Columbus landed in the Americas, are lucky to have missed an appointment with the chainsaw, because they've been owned by a logging company since the turn of the century.
