In this issue of Earth First! Dave Foreman attempts to clarify and outline the discussions regarding monkeywrenching. Plant ecologist Gary Paul calls attention to the endangered plants of the arid lands, Lynn Jacobs discusses “gentle” wilderness, and David Seals reports from Big Mountain, Arizona.
Was he talking about invading Nicaragua? Libya? No, this time the champion of the Law was talking about Big Mountain, where a bunch of dangerous old Indian ladies are defying the entire might of God’s Greatest Democracy with shotguns and Navajo grit.
