...techniques for extracting bullion from low-grade ore have touched off a little-noticed gold rush in the West, devastating huge areas, often at high-altitude sites that almost inevitably pollute the headwaters of rivers. A worst example in the making, environmentalists fear, is a gold mine that Noranda Inc., a big Canadian firm operating through a subsidiary of a subsidiary called Crown Butte Mines, intends to operate in fragile Montana high country 2.5 miles from the northeast corner of Yellowstone Park and entirely surrounded by the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness...

In the first weeks of the current campaign, the Caouette threat to the major parties appeared greater than ever before in Quebec. Political observers were predicting as many as 50 seats for the Socreds...
...Democratic Parties are certainly going to make obtaining a clear majority more difficult for the Liberals. Socred won 30 seats in the last election, 26 of these in the Province of Quebec. The French leader of the Ralliement des Creditistes is fiery Real Caouette, a car salesman from Rouyn-Noranda in northern Quebec. His cry to the French is, "You have nothing to lose. Try Social Credit."
