The War Between National Parks And Development

"There's a war out there, and it's pitting oilmen and industrialists against environmentalists and ranchers. The stakes are high. What do we want: The fat of the land or its grandeur? And what kind of shoot-out are we willing to put up with?... "While westerners are frequently caricatured as being either tree huggers or strip miners, they have complicated feelings about the land. Many conservationists have a libertarian streak, while ranchers and loggers can show a caretaker's attitude toward the land they work."
