Some of the most dramatic cases have nothing to do with drugs. Last month in Attleboro, Mass., a judge ordered Rebecca Corneau to be sent to a center for pregnant inmates until she gives birth, which will be any day. Last year Corneau gave birth to a son, who died soon afterward. Prosecutors say he would have lived had he undergone a routine procedure to clear his fragile lungs, but Corneau belongs to a religious sect that rejects modern medicine. She also rejects the authority of the government, and so has declined to hire a lawyer. The A.C.L.U. has asked...
...knew what it was like to have problems with his wife, and to be fired in a public and humiliating way. Bush has talked about what prompted him to lock the liquor cabinet when he turned 40. Gore may have lost his sister to cancer and almost lost his son to a car accident, but he rarely comes across as vulnerable.

...popular protest forced the Brazilian Congress to drop a plan to reduce from 80% to 50% the amount of forest to be set aside as nature preserves in future Amazonian development projects. Among the most vocal opponents of the rollback was Jos? Sarney Filho, the federal Environment Minister and son of the pro-development former President. In Acre, the frontier state where environmental martyr Chico Mendes was assassinated in 1988 by ranchers angered by his efforts to halt deforestation, change is more drastic. The current Governor, Jorge Viana, was elected in 1988 in an explicitly environmentalist campaign. He has since...
