Condolences and tributes poured in from across the country last night for the late judge. From President Clinton to Harvard President Neil L. Rudenstine, to fellow professors and his students, Higginbotham was described as a man respected and loved by all whose lives he touched...
When he first proposed the idea of forest protection to the Eyak Corp., his fellow board members voted him down, 8 to 1. "They called me a greenie and a tree hugger," he recalls. Undeterred, Lankard gave up his fishing business, set up the Eyak Rainforest Preservation Fund and began lobbying politicians and native Alaskans throughout the state.

His brother Jacob (cunningly played by Billy Bob Thornton) is a halfwit, and Jacob's pal Lou (Brent Briscoe) has a heedless temper. Back home, Hank's wife Sarah (Bridget Fonda) quickly turns into this caper's Lady Macbeth...
