Bumptious Interior Secretary James Watt found himself at the center of a new embroilment last week. The cause of the row: Watt's alleged mismanagement of the Federal Government's coal-leasing program, which, according to a House Appropriations Committee report, permitted the energy industry to buy coal-leasing rights at "fire sale" prices and reap "windfall profits" at taxpayers' expense...
