...addition to the irreversible environmental consequences, the Hatch-Hansen bill threatens to damage Utah's economy. On one hand, the mining sector employs only about one percent of Utah's work force, a number which is expected to decline even if this legislation is passed. The economic viability of mineral reserves in the desert wilderness is dubious due to huge extraction costs. On the other hand, the tourism industry has increased 42 percent in the past 15 years, with earnings rising 62 percent. Furthermore, current mining plans will result in 92-foot long double trailer trucks rumbling through Southern Utah...
Legislation introduced in Congress by Utah's Republican delegation--H.R. 1745 (Rep. Hansen) and S. 884 (Sen. Orrin Hatch and Sen. Bennett)--would take the 22 million acres of public land in Utah currently administered by the Bureau of Land Management and allow 20.2 million acres to be drilled, mined, dammed and cleared...

So-called "hard release" language specifies that this land can never receive wilderness designation, even if future generations wish to preserve it. Second, the passage of the Hatch-Hansen bill would establish a precedent for similar legislation which would open public lands across the nation. This is not just a regional issue...

Unfortunately, the Senate will have to vote on the entire package, and cannot reject just this legislation...
...French classic Diabolique, a man's spouse and lover hatch an elaborate plot to murder him. Now two women may kill the remake of that film, due out in the U.S. this month. Ines Clouzot, the eccentric widow of the film's original director, Henri-Georges Clouzot, is threatening to block the movie's release, claiming she never sold remake rights. "I first learned about the project from reading a newspaper at my hairdresser's," says Clouzot. "I can't let a pirate film come out." Production company Morgan Creek insists it bought all rights, but one of the movie...
