Anyone fortunate enough to visit the Four Corners region (Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah) of the southwestern US can attest to the physical beauty of the area's landscape. Scenic locales like Monument Valley, Mesa Verde and Canyon de Chelly have long been magnets for tourists, photographers and nature lovers. No doubt, the area has been reeling lately from the country's current economic downturn. The crashing of the sub-prime lending market, the housing slump and the squeeze on credit has resulted in real estate developers significantly scaling down on production.

They were ideal inanimate villains in the late Edward Abbey's rollicking novel The Monkey Wrench Gang: The pollution-puffing smokestacks of the coal-fired electric generators in the Four Corners, along with Glen Canyon Dam, drew the attention of an Albuquerque doctor, his nurse, a maverick ex-Green Beret and a renegade Mormon. They waged guerrilla war against power companies despoiling the region's once-wonderful skies for the sake of suburban sprawl in Arizona and California. The tall tale was set in the 1970s, when those generators were relatively new and when most of the American Southwest was only faintly aware that air pollution could have an effect on our vastness.

Business managers and attorneys beware: the advent of a new era in contract law is upon us. In the digital age, contracts, long thought of as two-dimensional "words on a page," are gradually becoming three-dimensional documents including electronically stored information that is invisible to the naked eye and on printed documents. Lawyers often speak of the "four corners" of a contract, referencing the four corners of the paper that bears final signatures. But now technology is stretching the bounds of traditional contract law analysis, forcing attorneys to pay close attention to electronic data outside those four corners.
