New Jersey bill would require a daily minute of silence in class

Indians face steep unemployment in New Mexico
Judy Giannettino reports from Santa Fe that despite a national 10.1 percent rate, Northern New Mexico tribal areas show joblessness from 40 to 70 percent. Isleta Pueblo Governor Jojola cites two thirds of his pueblo jobless as winter worsens grazing and crop prospects on the Navajo Nation and nearby reservations.
