In tha Hard Land of the Oglala Sioux. Cover art by Wilson McLean. ON THE REZ: The author of Great Plains describes the time he has spent on the Pine Ridge Reservation, in South Dakota, and the Oglala Sioux Indians he has come to know. Do not call this place bleak: it is poor, yes, and permeated by tragic memories. But it is also a place that still produces heroes. One recent hero was an athlete who died just before she turned eighteen. "Words fail me," the author writes, "when I try to say how much I admire her." , by Ian Frazier. THE HEALTH-CARE ECONOMY IS NOTHING TO FEAR: America's health-care costs, it is said, are in a "runaway" state; the health-care sector is abysmally unproductive, eating up wealth and hurting competitiveness.

Young Apple Tree, December A poem by Gail Mazur. REPORTS: Notes Comment: Streamlining My Life: America seems to be filled with companies that offer time-saving services. But the parts of your life they want to organize may not be the ones you want to give up. by Alex Ream. Urban Affairs: Divided We Sprawl People flee the central cities--causing even more people to flee the central cities. No wonder suburbs can't cope with sprawl. The solution is something called metropolitanism, the authors say. We must embrace the idea that cities and suburbs are related rather than antithetical, and make up a single social and economic reality. by Bruce Katz and Jennifer Bradley.

Movies: Gone With the Wind and Hollywood's Racial Politics: David 0. Selznick's classic movie opened sixty years ago this month. Documents from the studio's archives reveal behind-the-scenes debates over how African-Americans should be depicted in the movie--and how the movie's black actors should be treated in real life. by Leonard J. Leff. Food: Smoky Scotch: "I wanted to walk through a bog and steep myself in the smoke of a peat fire."
