Whether or not that ever happens, music has already left a deep mark on Woody's artistic achievement. No one who has seen his films can fail to appreciate how effectively he uses the scores to reinforce the visuals -- from the Gershwin themes of Manhattan to the Django Reinhardt and Louis Armstrong ballads of Stardust Memories to the brooding Schubert string quartet of Crimes and Misdemeanors, which premiered last week. For the sound track of Sleeper, Woody even went to New Orleans in 1973 and recorded himself playing with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. (The old musicians there had never...

...Reno, would not be so concerned. But Carlin is not the only area in Nevada where mining companies are digging up the land. Hundreds of geologists continue to roam the state, creating new networks of rutted roads. Exploration rigs continue to punch holes into the earth a thousand feet deep. In the mining boom towns along Interstate 80, schools are overflowing, crime has increased and business is good. "Ultimately," predicts Miller, "there could be one continuous hole in the ground that extends tens of miles along the Carlin Trend...
