...blow to Indian traditions, the court ruled 6-3 that there is no constitutional right to take the hallucinogenic drug peyote as a religious practice. Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, said that the First Amendment freedom of religion did not allow individuals to break the law: "We have never held that an individual's religious beliefs excuse him from compliance with an otherwise valid law prohibiting conduct that the state is free to regulate." Native American groups were quick to protest the ruling, saying that use of peyote in religious ceremonies predated the Constitution...
Hartman's own life in Israel is quite comfortable. Women study at his institute -- something the ultras would never allow -- but if he has ever pushed a broom at home, his wife cannot recall when. He does jog three miles daily and is a lifetime private in the Israeli army's education corps, although he has never shot a gun.

At issue are 19th century treaties, recently upheld by the federal courts, that allow the Chippewa to spear spawning walleyed pike in the shallows of 178 northern Wisconsin lakes.

"It's 1% of the population exercising their rights to the detriment of 99%," charges Dean Crist, leader of a protest group...
...final blow came when a committee of staffers, ironically formed by Garrett, presented Grosvenor with a report calling for some changes to allow for the advancement of the young and the restless and to improve the management of the magazine. Grosvenor's reply was to name William P.E. Graves, 63, to replace Garrett at the top editor's post, thus seeming to signal a return to more predictable stories and modest aspirations. Said one depressed insider: "It's like a morgue over there right now, and everybody's just wandering around in a stupor wondering what they're going...
