Later the President spent hours personally inserting "positive" language into the graduation speech he delivered at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn.

Its authors confirmed that the ecological results of natural burning are good. But the report contended that "in some cases the social and economic effects ((of natural fires)) may be unacceptable." Translation: the main problem with the fires was not what they did to plant and animal life but what they did to the tourist business...
