>The murals, depicting dancers in the winter Shalako ceremony at Zuni Pueblo,
>were painted by Zuni artist Tony Edaakie in 1951. They are the only ones
>of their kind known to exist other than at Zuni. The De Anza motel should
>be leased or sold to a private developer who would operate it as an old
>Route 66 interpretive center. City officials intend to nominate the De
>Anza to the state and federal registers of historic landmarks.

>As one anthropologist said, "Chagnon was accused of capital murder, and
>it appears that he's now been convicted of a parking violation." What galls
>anthropologists is a shamefully conducted investigation that should never
>have happened in the first place. Anthropology is among the most politicized
>of [professions]. Its fault lines include residual political schisms of
>the 1960s and '70s and a confusion of the discipline's intellectual goals
>with advocacy. A civil war now threatens anthropology, which is riven with
>divisions between scientifically oriented, data-driven research and
>interpretive
>approaches. The discipline is so broad that it lacks an intellectual core
>to contain its centrifugal elements. Without self-reflection and principled
>leadership in this politically immature association, the shadow of darkness
>over the profession may become a long night.
