An investment banker braves the brutal terrain of Park Avenue in a vehicle built for climbing sand dunes under enemy fire. A claims adjuster clambers aboard a car designed to haul caribou carcasses, so he can pick up his wife's fuchsias at the suburban garden center. Did the old man flip his jeep on Omaha Beach?

Along with several state legislators and environmental groups, Leone and his fellow miners opposed West Virginia's preliminary decision last March to double the visible-emissions limits for the Mount Storm plant, considered...
