- <p> When a gun battle broke out three weeks ago over casino
- gambling on the vast Mohawk Indian reservation on the New
- York-Quebec border, journalist Doug George, 35, became part of
- his own story. He picked up an AR-15 assault-style rifle and
- took part in an all-night shoot-out against pro-gambling
- forces. George, editor of two newspapers, the Akwesasne Notes
- and Indian Times, later wrote a gripping story about the
- battle, warning, "Unless we have permanent peace here, we're
- going to resort to terrorist methods."
- </p>
- <p> Last week Quebec police arrested George and charged him with
- the murder of one of two Mohawks who perished in the fight. The
- victim: Harold "Junior" Edwards, who reportedly had taken no
- side in the inter-tribal feud.
