...MONTANA'S CONGRESSMAN, I WANT TO alert your readers to a crisis concerning our Western land that your report only touched on. America already is over the brow of its last hill. Few wild places remain, and the competition for the public's land is growing and becoming dangerously fierce. Here in Washington, America is faced with the most anti-environmental Congress of our lifetime. Resource-extraction industries, foreign and domestic, are writing the legislation to weaken laws that have protected our land, air and water. We Montanans are proud of living in the "last best place...
...writing, not to report on my niece's appropriate and self-assertive stand, but to note the arcane and condescending behavior on the part of these high-brow relies of antiquity. In this day, where women are achieving so much at Harvard, and in all fields, I feel they should enter front doors throughout the University...
History, that insufferable know-it-all, has its noble brow furrowed. While noting much to commend in the way this lofty experiment has played out, it finds the U.N.'s charter conference an affair doomed by internal contradictions.

"I'm a complete unknown," says Miller, who is the daughter of William E. Miller, the conservative Republican vice-presidential candidate in 1964. "I'm a woman. If I made it, in a way it would be kind...
DIED. WILLIAM KUNSTLER, 76, lawyer; of a heart attack; in New York City. His face seemed ready-made for a radical's Mount Rushmore-the broad, furrowed brow, the corona of unkempt hair, the dishabille that left him looking as if he'd been blown around by the furies he provoked with his fierce defenses of civil and criminal rights. In the summer of 1961, however, he was more conventionally groomed. That's when he got his first taste of radical politics, springing antisegregationist Freedom Riders from Southern jails. The experience changed his life and led to a client list...
