The wall's decayed mud-and-stone ramparts outside the town of Jiayuguan bear no resemblance to the grand other end, more than a thousand miles to the east, near Beijing. Tellingly, the territory of the People's Republic that is ethnically Han Chinese ends at the wall. Beyond it, to the west, begins a Central Asian domain that is historically Turkic and Islamic a land of terrible desert and desolate massif that stretches to the Caspian Sea and includes the newly independent states of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan, as well as the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, as it is officially called, in China itself.

In June 1999, the American Medical Association formally adopted the position that appropriate medical care can only result from face-to-face consultations. because of problems with the quality of cyberpharmacies and the qualifications of cyberpharmacists. What is the size of the cyberpharmacy problem in relation to addictive drugs? Is the single case of online purchasing of drugs for misuse described by St George and colleagues in this issue of the Journal (page 118) an exception, or the start of a new and dangerous trend? We need more data, but we can make some observations. Licit drugs present a far greater problem than illicit drugs. Most drug-related deaths in our society are a result of diseases caused by tobacco. Tobacco accounts for over 80% of drug-related deaths and 79% of years of life lost.

    Extractions: "You're not an environmentalist, are you?" On the other hand, the landowners, whose life depends upon the land, are its best stewards because they know it intimately. A few people we met claimed that ranching is the best thing that can be done for the land. For instance, ranching makes more water available for wildlife (and hikers). To many here, it seems, environmentalists are the ones responsible for the recent fires at Los Alamos, since they are the ones who oppose wood collecting. This allows the dead wood to accumulate on the forest floor, where it dries and acts like a tinder box. These attitudes about environmentalists and ranchers are very different from what I learned in school, where ranchers typically get a bad rap. I learned that cattle trample vegetation, which causes erosion, and produce manure that is high in nitrates, which pollutes the water. The production of beef also uses many resources that could otherwise be redistributed to feed hungry people.

    Extractions: Home -Jasjit Singh After the two valuable studies on Pakistan and India, the Strategic Foresight Group led by Sundeep Waslekar has come out with another one. This one not only has a catchy title but also has tried to look at four countries (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia) along with the US role in the region. The calculus of assessment has been built on the concept of 5-Gs as developed by the group: Growth, Governance, God, Geopolitics, and Globalisation as the drivers of change. Except for Iran which is less affected by it, the looming shadow of Osama bin Ladin and the Mujahideen is perhaps the only defining commonality in the undefined Asia. The “undefined Asia”, as the study has called it, is a key area to our west and crucial for India’s future security and prosperity. Peace and stability in Afghanistan nearly a year and half after the Taliban was driven away still remains a major uncertainty. Complex overlapping loyalties — and rivalries — are interspersed with fleeting alliances among the powerful, making it far more difficult to make a coherent judgement of the degree of stability in the unfortunate country that has been the centre of the global great game and attendant violence for nearly three decades. With external aid so crucial to reconstruction and rehabilitation, the risk of aid fatigue reducing foreign assistance by 2006 is high. If the domestic economy and external trade are not established by that time, the country could again regress into a poppy-kalashnikov economy and a return of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, even if under different nomenclature.

    Extractions: Chris Madsen, Bill Tilghman and Heck Thomas were the kind of shoot-'em-up, white-hat sheriffs that kept America clean, in the days of the Wild Wild West. Together with U.S. Marshal E.D. Nix, they kept settlers happy and, for the most part, alive. At least that's the story children and even scholars generally see and hear when they read about "cowboys and Indians" in the early 1900s. Now, however, a retired instructor who previously taught aerospace studies at UConn has unearthed information that sheds new light on history and in this version, Madsen, Tilghman, Thomas and Nix wear black hats. "It's incredible the amount of distortion one finds in books about those days," says Nancy B. Samuelson, author of a new book, Shoot From The Lip Samuelson, a retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force, who also wrote a book titled The Dalton Gang Story , noticed discrepancies in the stories of other marshals and lawmen in Oklahoma when she went through newspapers, death records and obituaries during her research on the notorious 19th-century gang.

    Extractions: reviewed by Joe Eaton River of Shadows is also a compelling portrait of a "garish, gorgeous, violent, unjust time." In a turbulent half-century framed by the California Gold Rush and the Chicago World's Fair (where he ran a proto-movie theater featuring his invention, the zoopraxiscope), Muybridge photographed Emperor Norton, crossed paths with John Muir in the High Sierra, documented the Modoc War, talked shop with Thomas Edison. His relationship with wealth and power was an uneasy one. In 1877, as a national railroad strike mutated into anti-Chinese violence in San Francisco, Muybridge recorded a deceptively serene city from a privileged vantage point: the turret of Mark Hopkins' unfinished Nob Hill mansion. But with Leland Stanford, what began as patronage ended in betrayal and litigation. Solnit, whose

    Extractions: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Life in Whoop-Up Country: In 1865, the area north of Montana was known as Whoop-Up country. It was a part of Western Canada that White settlers had not yet reached, so the Canadian government, for the most part ignored it. In Montana, trading whiskey to the Natives in exchange for furs was illegal. Meanwhile, in Whoop-Up country there was no one there to stop the whiskey trading. Since White traders could make good money by trading whiskey, they headed north, out into the freedom of Whoop-Up country. But when Natives traded for whiskey, their drinking often led to violence. The Native was not used to whiskey, so drinking led to more drinking and then serious fighting, and many died. Because of their struggles with whiskey, most Natives didn't like the whiskey traders. Drunk natives were a threat, so the whiskey traders of Whoop-Up Country built forts to protect themselves. The forts were given colorful names like Slide-out, Standoff, Whiskey Gap, Fort Whoop-Up, and Robber's Roost. Some White men became known as Wolfers because they killed wolves by putting poison on dead buffalo. When the wolves ate the buffalo meat, they died. The Wolfers then skinned the wolves and used the skins for trade. But the Native dogs also ate the buffalo meat and died. This upset the Natives because their dogs were both helpers and friends. So the wolfers also had to build forts to protect themselves.

    Extractions: Like the Cullens in the north, the Hohnens and the Horgans in the south converted their cattle properties to vineyards. Although Margaret River was remote and the pioneers inexperienced in the ways of the grape, they thought internationally, rather than concentrating on Australia. Indeed, Leeuwin bucked the red wine trend of the times, planting 35 percent of their vineyards to Chardonnay. Most of the other pioneers focused on red varieties, specifically Cabernet Sauvignon, and invested all their available resources back into the vineyards and wineries. The bottom line did not figure into their calculations, and many did not turn a profit for decades.
