Interior Secretary James Watt, who as a Colorado lawyer used to battle the department he now heads, is only the most prominent example. Another Coloradan, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator-designate Anne Gorsuch made it a practice, as a state legislator, to oppose the EPA'S hazardous-waste...
