...which ranger Guy Pence, who once supervised Forest Service lands in Nye County, was the apparent target. Now no one can park in the visitors' spaces next to the agency's office in Sparks. Soon after the bombing, Senator Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat whose support is centered in Las Vegas and Reno, decried the spreading ethos of defiance: "It is as if a sickness has swept our country." Whatever the diagnosis may be, nowhere are the symptoms more profound than...
...Justice Department's lawsuit, filed last March in Las Vegas federal court, could be decided next month, but any decision is certain to be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. Roger Marzulla, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney General who is now defending Nye County, calls it one of the most important cases of the century in shaping the role of the Federal Government, and likens the bulldozer incident to "Rosa Parks' saying, 'I'm going to sit in the front of the bus.'"

The decor is suitably lavish. The four-course dinner is ambitious, if too heavily salted. And the entertainment is strenuous...
DIED. GEORGE KIRBY, 71, comedian-impressionist; of Parkinson's disease; in Las Vegas. One of the first African-American stand-ups to play Vegas clubs, Kirby was for years a fixture on TV variety and talk shows. His repertoire of 100 voices spanned races and sexes, including dead-on renditions of jazz divas Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald...
