...catch sodium cyanide flushed through pulverized rock to dissolve gold, had been installed badly, in midwinter. It leaked, and the resulting solution of heavy metals in the acidic drainage poisoned 17 miles of the Alamosa River, which waters farms and ranches in the San Luis Valley. After a required bond for reclamation costs was raised from $2.2 million to $7.2 million, Galactic Resources Ltd., the mine's Canadian owner, abruptly declared bankruptcy and walked away last December. Summitville is now a Superfund site, and cleanup may run as high as $100 million...
Kevorkian did not have to go to jail at all; he could have put up a $2,000 bond payment and walked out of court. In fact, anyone can post the money and secure his release, but his lawyer, Geoffrey Fieger, urged supporters not to do so.

In court Judge Thomas Jackson granted the increase, telling Kevorkian sharply that he had been in "utter contempt and flagrant violation" of the state law. Kevorkian's thin frame slumped, and he said, "I won't move...
...greatest trouble for Clinton is a robust Republican Party, especially an ideologically cohesive, naysaying congressional delegation capable of staying the President's innate activism. "History says we'll gain about three Senate and 20 House seats in '94," says former G.O.P. national chairman Rich Bond. "Now I think we'll do even better. The big break for us in the latest results is going to come in candidate recruitment. These days, too few good people want to expose themselves to the scrutiny that comes when you run for office. That's magnified when running looks like suicide; no one wants...
