...problem, as the people of Utah see it, is that the unspoiled land being placed under the federal bell jar is not just any unspoiled land. Locked in its rocks are as much as 62 billion tons of coal, 2 trillion cu. ft. of natural gas and 2 billion bbl. of oil--resources that could be worth billions of dollars and hundreds of jobs. So Utah, which has been scrapping with the Federal Government since statehood, is fighting back. Lawmakers are contemplating various legislative counterattacks, including enacting laws that guarantee continued access to the land, reducing the boundaries...
...thing sure to unite an angry nation: poverty. In the industrial town of Pernik, 2,000 miners gathered at dawn at the regional mining directors' office, demanding higher wages as well as the ouster of the director.

Which is to say, if I see him topple from his perch as an online publisher, I'm dashing for the exit. That's part of the reason I made a point of meeting him for dinner the last time I visited Seattle. I was worried...
...Judge, "but no major initiatives have been implemented." The economy continued to shrink in 1996 and the Kremlin's bold tax-collection initiative has run out of steam. Yeltsin has been utterly unable to keep his promise to pay the back salaries due state employees ranging from teachers to coal miners. While his aides are saying the president could return to his desk as early as January 28, "That is very much a hope rather than an assumption they are making," says Quinn-Judge...
