PRARIES OUR WINDOW ON THE WORLD / LIFE ON THE PRAIRIE

Read more about this fascinating scientist and her work beginning on Page 4.

Creighton photographer Don Doll, S.J., recipient of the Kodak Crystal Eagle Award for Impact in Photojournalism, visited Angola last March, where 10 million landmines (one for each person in the country) lie buried beneath the soil. His photo essay, beginning on Page 12, chronicles the devastating toll these deadly devices exact on innocent civilians.
