...protest the Forest Service's actions before the Senate Subcommittee on Public Lands. In Montana's 1,575,000-acre Bitterroot National Forest, argued Guy M. Brandborg, a former Forest Service official, clear-cutting has caused widespread erosion, threatening watersheds, wildlife and recreation. Wyoming Senator Gale McGee said that instead of regenerating naturally after clearcutting, as the Forest Service claims, the forests often have to be replanted with seedlings, a difficult and hazardous task, especially on steep slopes. McGee also said that timber companies favor clear-cutting over selective cutting (the removal of only ripe or harmful trees...
...abstract for concrete; the sweeping flights, within single phrases, from the commonplace to the sublime (Hemingway's brains are "scattered now in every atmosphere"); metaphors that reach out and grasp every aspect of common experience; and the quick observations that outgun entire works of lesser writers (as when Frank McGee is described as having "a personality all reminiscent . . . of a coach of a rifle team"). As usual, Mailer's observations are passionate rather than considered, emerging from the heat of the moment; inevitably, many of them seem wildly wrong. But the technical accuracy of his remarks are beside the point...
...three earlier LPs, she is supported this time by the Full Tilt Boogie Band, a tightly knit combo dominated by Richard Bell's superb piano. Never before did she exercise such control over her voice. To hear her build Kris Kristofferson's country blues ballad, Me & Bobby McGee, from tree-shaded quiet into high-noon bustle is to know that pacing and nuance are not just the property of lieder singers. The familiar full-throated Joplin warbling is still present-in Cry Baby and My Baby. But the final song, Get It While You Can, is mournfully ironic...
...their single, at-large member of the House of Representatives this year. Though each candidate suspects his opponent of spending more than claimed, the campaigns for these offices came to perhaps $2 for every person in the state, $6 for each vote cast Nov. 3. Incumbent Senator Gale McGee spent $150,000 (the Democrats say) to $300,000 (the G.O.P. says) to retain his seat. His G.O.P. challenger, John S. Wold, aided by a fund-raising dinner that featured Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, put $150,000 to $250,000 into his campaign. The gubernatorial race was cheap compared with...
Farther west, Nixon had selected five incumbent Democratic Senators as likely targets for unseating: North Dakota's Quentin Burdick, Wyoming's Gale McGee, Utah's Frank Moss, New Mexico's Joseph Montoya and Nevada's Howard Cannon. Conservatives were recruited to run well-financed campaigns against the ostensibly vulnerable quintet. Campaigners from Washington hustled through. Agnew anointed Moss "the Western regional chairman of the Radic-Lib Eastern Establishment." Moss was re-elected easily, and the four other Democrats also won. Three of the Republicans put up against the incumbent Senators were House members; Democrats captured those three seats...
