That part of the conflict soon turned into a battle between giant federal departments, with Agriculture (which runs the forestry service) behind the development and Interior (which runs the park service) opposed to it. Before leaving office last month, Interior Secretary Stewart Udall finally approved the highway plan, noting that it would not result in the removal of a single redwood. However, both he and the Sierra Club had already created the impression that the developers would be violating a pristine piece of America's wilderness...
...result of the resort. What seems to bother the Sierra Club most is the prospect that the pack travelers and other outdoorsmen will no longer be the only kings on this hill. Jack Hope, senior editor of Natural History magazine, voiced the typical objection. Disney's plan, he said, "conjures up pictures of tourists picking the grounds clean, of skiers watching the white wrappers of their candy bars floating to the ground."

This Catch-68 scenario might have been hilarious as fiction, but it did not amuse the court's presiding admirals.

A month and three days after the fighting stopped, he presented his plan...
...bearded writers have as much say as its directors. The argument was not over policy but money; Ramparts needs at least $300,000 to clear its debts. No one believed that both Ramparts and a competitor could survive. The question was whether the staff should follow Mitchell's plan to reorganize while in bankruptcy and seek new funding, or buy Hinckle's idea of starting all over under a new name. Said Mitchell of the uncertainty surrounding the magazine: "The whole staff could leave, or we could elect the copyboy treasurer and carry on. It could...
