ABOUT THE AUTHORS Dr. Howard G. Wilshire Dr. Jane E. Nielson Dr. Richard W. Hazlett				NEWS - THE ZINGER BOX News: The American West at Risk's first printing is nearly sold out. Oxford University Press has proposed a second printing in the next few months. Zinger: "The news is not good these days. I can tell you, though, that as a journalist I know the news is never the end of the story. The news can be the truth that sets us free - not only to feel but to fight for the future we want. And the will to fight is the antidote to despair, the cure for cynicism. What we need is what the ancient Israelites called hochma - the science of the heart... the capacity to see, to feel and then to act as if the future depended on you. Believe me, it does." - Bill Moyers
