Baucus' letter, though it may stiffen the spines of the regulating agencies, probably won't be enough to stop the mine. Noranda and Crown Butte may well get a permit to operate.

The fact is that the outdated 1872 mining law, which treats the U.S. as if it were an underdeveloped country to be exploited, does not allow the agencies to say no to a permit. They can say only "yes, provided...
...hands, but force must never be threatened unless we are really prepared to use it. You undoubtedly agree with the current conventional wisdom that we must act only when we know when and how to get out, but that makes no sense; if a situation is benign enough to permit this, it probably doesn't require intervention in the first place, and a previously announced exit date merely invites troublemakers to outwait us.

It also says the store will devote 40,000 sq. ft. of space to building materials -- far more than the 10,000-sq.-ft. maximum required by law. Jesse Masyr, counsel for Home Depot, called the charges "specious...
...expository writing instructor and the discipline-specific writing instructor would create separate standards for each. In the first semester, the course could adopt a lecture format combined with weekly personal tutorials. The seminar-style classes in use discourages the instructor from really leading the class; the lecture format would permit him or her to play a greater role...
