Yellowstone rush hits vein of protest
Article Abstract:
Crown Butte Mines is facing strong opposition from environmentalists to its plans to extract precious minerals from Henderson Mountain, in south-western Montana. The site is less than three miles from the northern boundary of Yellowstone National Park, and many Americans now fear that commercial considerations are beginning to damage their national heritage. At present, the law allows anyone to stake a mining claim on federal lands and extract anything they wish for a very small fee.

The $14 million epic adventure to free Willy - into an unknown future
Article Abstract:
An attempt is to be made to free Keiko, the Orca whale that starred in the 1993 film 'Free Willy.' This whale was captured off the Icelandic coast at a young age, and had been kept in various aquariums before appearing in the film. The Free Willy Keiko Foundation has been responsible for his welfare since 1996, at a cost of $10 million. It is hoped that he will gradually adapt to life back in his natural habitat over several months.
