...confirmed: both in his new job as Secretary of the Interior and in his new respect for the power of disgruntled conservationists. Last week, in his first important action, Hickel named as his undersecretary a man who may well set the tone for his department. He is Russell E. Train, chairman of Nixon's pre-inaugural task force on resources and environment, and an internationally esteemed conservationist. The appointment drew praise from nearly every quarter, including the old Administration. Said Stewart Udall, Hickel's predecessor: "I don't think there's anyone in the conservation movement...
...Udall, the most important right cause is Train's commitment to "the environmental impact of what we're doing." Train believes that the Federal Government must assign top priority to preserving open space and protecting wildlife-two of Interior's traditional functions. He insists that the Government also study the wise use of all of the nation's vulnerable natural resources, and specifically a campaign against such blights as pollution, overcrowding and planned uglification.

They promise to ban automobiles from the village and advocate a five-level underground garage. From there, visitors would ride a cogwheel train the last mile and a half. The ski valley would have more than two dozen lifts and tramways leading up slopes. Summertime guests would find fewer trees, but there would be good swimming and hiking...
Corespondingly, just as the United States has no rights in a country which it has tried to conquer, the instruments of U.S. domination in Vietnam (i.e., ROTC, the CIA, etc.) have no rights either therefore to recruit highly trained human resources on American campuses. ROTC trains men in various aspects of the U.S. military; to justify the right to be so trained necessitates condoning the activities in which the U.S. military engages--in effect, one would have to support the right of conquest, the right of a foreign government to exploit a people and to suppress the Black liberation movement...
