	Does Haitian Justice Have to be an Oxymoron? Anna Husarska It was in a US military helicopter going from Port-au-Prince to Hinche that I first met a representative of the Haitian justice after the return of the exiled president Jean-Bertrand Aristide was made possible by the soft-entry invasion of US troops in Haiti in September 1994.
	Education's Cast-Offs: How Whites Avoid Integration and Leave Blacks Adrift Donald P. Baker SUMMERTON, South Carolina - The orange-and-blue cover on the yearbook at Scott's Branch High School here proclaims this sleepy Southern town as "the birth place of equal education," but a look inside the town's gleaming new $8 million school building belies that promise.
	Indian Head Start: Restoring a Culture Kay Mills HARLEM, Montana - Winston Morin pulls the Head Start bus up to a pink quonset-hut classroom at the Fort Belknap Agency and joshes with teacher Barbara Long Knife as she climbs aboard for the late-morning ride.

	Coca Fields: Better than Devastation? Corinne Schmidt Ichoa, Bolivia - The yap of a toucan sounded from a treetop near the Ichoa ranger post in Bolivia's Isiboro-Secure National Park. From the cabin's porch, park director Hans Rocha picked out the bird's long-billed silhouette, framed against the foothills of the Andes, where the park's western boundary lies. In the park's 2.75 million acres, stretching from lowland rain forest to 13,000-foot high mountain slopes, species as common as the toucan and as rare as the harpy eagle thrive.
