All that Remains – Nearly two-thirds of the Lewis and Clark Trail is under man-made reservoirs. Another one-quarter is buried under subdivisions, streets, parks, banks, and other modern amenities. Almost none of the original landscape is intact. No one appreciates this contrast like author and historian Martin Plamondon II, who has reconciled the explorers’ maps with the modern landscape. by Ken Olsen

Full Circle – Steve Jones and Tim Murray want to make the immense area of eastern Washington, or at least a good chunk of it, less prone to blow, less often bare, even more unchanging. The way they’ll do this is to convince a plant that is content to die after it sets seed in late summer that it actually wants to live. by Tim Steury

Listening to His Heart – As a student at WSU in the late ’60s, Ken Alhadeff questioned authority with zeal. “I was part of a group of folks that marched down the streets of Pullman to President Terrell’s house with torches, demanding that the Black Studies Program not be eliminated. It was a war between us and those insensitive, bureaucratic regents,” says Alhadeff…who is now a regent. by Beth Luce
