Virtual politics, as seen on TV: Did Clinton's health care reforms perish in the glare of the TV lights?

Article Abstract:

Political leaders in the US use new-media formats such as talk radio and cable call-in shows. Enthusiasts of talk culture believe that politics can be made democratic, open, participatory and enjoyable. However there are limits of political power in the new interactive culture, such as the legislative fate of the Clinton health care plan, where specious television advertisments misrepresented the proposals.

Trapper comes out of the cold to teach

Article Abstract:

The Cree Indians of northern Canada have been forced to change their lifestyle by the building of a hydro-electric plant. They were awarded 90 million Canadian dollars compensation, some of which has been used to set up a community teacher training course at McGill University. Native Crees are trained as teachers and work in the Indian community, teaching younger members about their culture.
