Flinty Intransigence. The result is that Still has become a respected enigma. He is seen as a model of flinty intransigence, and looks it: a gaunt, atrabilious figure of 71 with a cutting eye, he has managed to control the fate of his work more effectively than any other artist of his generation.

While there is little chance that the town will suffer the fate of ancient Pompeii, the U.S. Forest Service has been forced to close surrounding areas to hikers, campers and skiers, and has thus driven away much of the tourist trade that the town depends upon for its livelihood...
