...DEMONSTRATIONS Get out your black armband. It's the biggest Inaugural protest since Nixon's, in 1973. Police and Secret Service are mobilizing 7,000 officers for a predicted 20,000 demonstrators, some of them veterans of Seattle '99. Expect placards reading hail to the thief. McPherson Square, Freedom Plaza and the Justice Department...
...easy to see why Bush would hesitate to let the guy off the hook. Doing so would really tick off his right wing, which has held on to the prosecution of Clinton like a dog to a postman's leg.

First, he has asked his lawyers to look for every opportunity to reverse Clinton's executive orders on land preservation. Second, one of Bush's long-time environmental advisors, Terry Anderson, has argued that the federal government should relinquish all rights to public lands over the next 40 years. These included the National Parks, first founded by (Republican) Theodore Roosevelt, Class of 1880, in the early part of this century. Third...
