LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
he Web has become the communications phenomenon of our time. The number of Americans 16 and older who use it grew to 40 percent of the adult population between 1997 and 1998. But the Internet frenzy has not extended to journalism.
The idea that women might like to slog around outdoors getting just as grubby as men may seem like an offshoot of women's lib, but the word "feminist" is pretty much taboo at Becoming an Outdoorswoman.
Will a Supreme Court decision that media presence during a police search violates the Fourth Amendment have an impact on the First Amendment rights granted to the press?
Plus features on misunderstood urban sprawl, a new program in New Mexico for controlling gangs in prisons, the joys of fishing the Tennessee River, millionaire Steve Forbes' campaign for President, and columns about the tribulations of swearing, life in the Fifties, Hawaii Five-O lust, and lots more.
