Hattoy, most recently president of California's Fish and Game Commission, famously decried then President George H.W. Bush's "moral blindness" in handling the AIDS crisis in a brief, raw prime-time speech at the 1992 Democratic Convention. The outspoken activist, who opened his '92 remarks by thanking Aretha Franklin, was reassigned to a less visible post after criticizing a proposal Clinton said he'd consider to limit the deployment of gays in the military...

The $3.7 billion railway, the world's highest, crosses a 16,500-foot pass and has pressurized cars so that passengers can withstand the altitude. The route also makes moving raw materials from the province, which once would have had to been done by truck over high mountain roads, potentially affordable.
