...subdivision moratorium. The fight over growth in the West is sure to be intensified by the selection of Salt Lake City, Utah, as the host of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, which will bring Olympic-size hype and a flood of tourists. "The Games will accelerate the environmental assault," says Alexis Kelner, co-founder of Utahans for Responsible Public Spending, a group against staging the Games locally. "The area can't take all the condos, hotels and shopping centers that will now flow...
Like the people of Parker, many Westerners feel under assault by settlers, vacationers and developers. If President Clinton arrives for his planned summer vacation this month in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, there will no doubt be renewed grumblings about traffic and overcrowding as the First Entourage sweeps through. About a half-decade ago, Subarus full of Easterners and Range Rovers stuffed with Californians started trekking to the Rocky Mountain states.

The funny, good-natured script, by Callie Khouri ("Thelma and Louise"), is another empowerment play, but deeper and more intricately subversive in its assault on American patriarchy. Director Lasse Hallstrom ("My Life as a Dog") is an unobtrusive craftsman who lets his actors breathe in an easy, unforced way. And Gena Rowlands is simply great in a scene where she breaks the silence of the years in a richly emotional encounter with her husband. "Her performance," says Shickel...
