PEACE AND CIVIL RIGHTS DON'T MIX? [AUDIO]
-----------------------------------------
(14 jan 2007) Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose beliefs we celebrate
this week, was widely condemned during his life for his public
antiwar stance. His speech linking antiwar arguments with civil and
human rights priorities is as relevant today as it was in 1967.

THE PROMISE OF 'GREEN' GOLD
---------------------------
(14 jan 2007) Uncontrolled gold mining has devastated environments
and communities in Colombia's rain forests. But a new certification
program is helping local communities start to have a say in how
mining is developed around them.

activists hope Chilean courts will act more swiftly in bringing
justice to Alberto Fujimori, the authoritarian former president of
Peru who is in exile in Chile.
