...stop them. Last week in Nevada, a state consisting almost entirely of wide open spaces, the Governor signed a bill that makes speeders caught going no more than 70 subject to only a token $5 "energy wasting" fine. (If clocked any faster, Nevadans will still be cited for speeding.) Montana has legally flouted the national limit since 1974 with a similar statute. Says newly unleashed Las Vegas Driver Dennis Gomes: "Here it's not like one of those Eastern states where the population density is so much greater and it's maybe 55 miles from...
...defeated McGovern ruefully dissents: "Keep in mind that Ab Mikva comes from Chicago. No way is anyone from Montana or South Dakota going to agree that the N.R.A. is a paper tiger...
...rique is now fairly bursting with the ingredients for le grand repas. Lobsters from the state of Maine (named for the region in northwest France), milk-fed veal from le Midwest, good beef and lamb from Montana and New Jersey, le bon canard known as Long Island duckling, the little shrimp of New Orleans, the crab of San Francisco, an aspiring caviar, even snails, frogs' legs and truffles from la Californie.

Noble critters are immortalized by his marksmanship in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Africa.

He boasts of bagging 122 enemies in combat, outboxing the biggest man on Bimini and having intercourse three times on his 50th birthday. He furnishes his editor and pubisher...
Lafe Pfeifer, secretary of the Texas State Rifle Association, puts it bluntly: "Punish those who misuse firearms, but leave me alone." This approach predominates in Southern and Western states, but the laws are rarely enforced-and thus serve as no deterrent. In Montana, one survey showed that of 141 people convicted of armed crimes, none were sentenced to additional time for using a weapon. In Florida, where a similar law was passed in 1975, murders have steadily climbed to a record 1,387 last year, an increase of 28% over 1979. In Miami, 29,000 handguns were legally sold...
