BOMB A waste disposal company called ICU is seeking a government license to bury 50,000 cubic yards of asbestos waste in the ground on private land near Huerfano Mountain in northwestern New Mexico, an area held sacred by Navajo people. Changing Woman is an important figure in Navajo creation beliefs. But some people still hold out hope that governments can act to curb the worst excesses of human greed and stupidity. Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral that has been mined from the deep earth since the first commercial mine opened in Quebec province in Canada, in 1879.
