Durango is oblivious to the lessons of history. It plans to build enough houses to expand its population 160%, to 40,000. This growth will require more water, and the city is banking on another dam, the controversial Animas-La Plata project, which has been on the drawing board since 1968. It is still unclear whether Congress will appropriate the entire $350 million needed for the dam. Water flows toward money. The Dust Bowl of the 1930s pushed small farmers off the land and consolidated larger land holdings. The drought of today will force farmers like Gillen to sell...

...research on human embryos and fetuses. It was pressure from these organizations that led the Bush Administration in August 2001 to limit scientists receiving federal funds from using anything other than a restricted set of approved stem-cell lines - a collection of identical stem cells that can be expanded for both research and transplantation. There are no such restrictions in Britain. "Bush has locked the U.S. into an earlier stage of technology, and researchers from other countries are going to use much more useful stem-cell lines," says Simon Best, vice chairman of the Bioindustry Association...
