LUJAN REINFORCES PAST INSENSITIVITY

IF YOU SAW one or two rivets pop out of your airplane's siding, you might not be too concerned. But when another and then another rivet is lost, concern and danger mount, as a prominent population biologist recently suggested.

Interior Secretary Lujan's candor regarding the Endangered Species Act further reinforces the insensitivity of the past decade's Republican administration, and the real hypocrisy of those purporting to be our environmental stewards.
