...Carnegie corporation funded the program. Its president, Dr. Devid Hamburg, has long been active in efforts to improve U.S./Russia relations...
What's unusual about this tableau, however, is that the Wilhelmis are German. Home for this white couple and their American-born, black children is Flensburg, a city north of Hamburg and an ocean's divide from U.S. soil. Had the Wilhelmis been Americans from another U.S. state, they could not have removed the children from Pennsylvania without complying first with the terms of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children.

Maxxam doesn't want to sell the whole 44,000 acres -- about one-fifth of Pacific's holdings -- on which fast-growing second- and third-generation redwoods are reaching market size. But it is willing, perhaps eager, to sell Headwaters and a logged...
