Cattle Prod Why we need to push livestock off public lands	Debra Donahue, Writers on the Range	25 Feb 2000	Soapbox
Whatever might be said of the arid West, it "ain't no cow country." That's what Henry Fonda, playing Wyatt Earp, said of Arizona in John Ford's 1946 film My Darling Clementine. That's also the bottom line of a book I've written, The Western Range Revisited: Removing Livestock from Public Lands to Conserve Native Biodiversity. In it, I conclude that where mean annual precipitati ...

Who Dropped the Green from the GOP? A Republican berates his party for abandoning the environment	Karl Hess, Jr.	11 Jan 2000	Soapbox
Republicans are handing Democrats a green Y2K. So far, GOP presidential contenders have all but conceded the environmental issue to Al Gore and Bill Bradley. Rather than fight for the conservation mantle that was once the GOP's, they seem content to not ask and not tell when it comes to the nation's land, air, water, and wildlife. At best, Republican environmental polic ...

What I Did on My Summer Vacation	Ben White	18 Aug 1999	Muckraker
August is prime R&R time for lawmakers, who are kicking back in their home states and pressing the all-important constituent flesh. No such vacation at the Sierra Club, however, where summer means it's time to drive lawmakers crazy by running ads against them.
