Most national conservative groups disavow a direct role but say they monitor and advise local battles through members at the grass roots. Some, however, don't. In Salt Lake City the Utah chapter of Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum spearheaded a school-board vote to ban all after-school clubs for the specific purpose of keeping a local high school from being host of an after-school club for gay teens. Last week the legislature passed a bill banning gay clubs in high schools statewide, mandating that local school boards "deny access to any student organization or club whose activity...
...visible campaign in statehouses to ban same-sex marriages. At the local level, the accent is on keeping homosexuality out of the curriculum and the classroom and on blocking ordinances that protect gays and lesbians from discrimination.

David began to suspect something in the summer of 1995, when news accounts about the Unabomber reported he was thought to have grown up in Chicago and to have lived in or around Berkeley and Salt Lake City, Utah, all places where Ted had spent time.

...because the practice has been carried out in private, the medical establishment has yet to develop a consensus on how and when to help a patient die. Until now, explains Leslie Pickering Francis, a professor of law at the University of Utah, "patients who are sophisticated enough to want the aid and physicians who are sympathetic enough to want to give it often do it in such a way that the intent and the knowledge are left deliberately ambiguous."
