...their American counterparts'. One day, while visiting friends, Hamm stumbled on a shelf of anthropology textbooks--and was hooked. At first he nourished his voracious interest with books alone. Later he began taking anthropology courses at the University of New Hampshire. Four years ago, he enrolled in a Ph.D. program at the University of Massachusetts. He has an advantage over his younger classmates. "Graduate students often have a problem figuring out what they want to do," says Hamm. "I had never lost my interest in the maquiladora industry, and I knew from the beginning what I wanted to study...
...target to shoot at. The two Democrats have offered big, detailed plans, but each has a different emphasis. Bradley's is big but not so detailed. In its main element, it would abolish Medicaid, which provides coverage for the poor, and channel them instead to enroll in the insurance program already available to federal employees. Bradley would also offer the poor tax breaks and subsidies to help pay for insurance. Gore's plan is detailed but not so big.

After a few hours of dabbling, even the novice can put a roommate's head on Michelangelo's David and circulate posters of the result. (Not that I would ever do such a thing, of course.) It's only after you've played with Photoshop for a while that you realize how easy it is--and how scary...
...been no stranger to image editing: Baseball stadiums sometimes replace local ads with national ones in the television coverage. But CBS' decision raises new questions of whether television can be trusted when what network executives think is "entertainment" might be what the average viewer takes as "news." When a program presents itself as fact, as the millennium coverage did--were there really that many partiers, or did CBS add some to make the footage more dramatic?--it seems that the images it presents should be fact as well. The TV watcher should see exactly the same thing as someone standing...
