...recently passed laws requiring the use of recycled newsprint, and similar legislation has been proposed in at least a dozen other states. In New York the environment may be one of the few areas where Democrat Mario Cuomo proves vulnerable: activists consider him indifferent to the issue and specifically fault him for favoring trash incineration over recycling.
