...wide enough to allow a healthy teenager, eight months pregnant and carrying a healthy baby, to squeeze through the clinic door. Most times, the reasons for a late-term abortion are as tragic as those endured by the women Clinton introduced at his press conference when he vetoed the ban last spring.

As the number of snowmobilers and the attendant problems mount, Yellowstone's management is looking at its options, ranging from setting exhaust limits to imposing a snowmobile ban, moves that would bring howls of protest almost as loud as the machines themselves. Sighs park information officer Marsha Karle: "We're trying to control an industry that doesn't want to be controlled...
