...With Silber, while it's been good to see hisstaunch opposition to Question 3, I wish heweren't so quick to agree that the answer to ourproblems is to cut, cut, cut," she says...

While such a requirement would have a positive effect by increasing the exposure of poorly financed campaigns, it would come at the cost of increased governmental control of the media. The answer to making the election system more equitable is to publically finance campaigns, not to use strong arm tactics on the independent press. We endorse a NO vote on Question...
...Pravda bailout plan is a bold answer to desperate circumstances. During the past two years, the newspaper's circulation has slipped from 10 million readers to 7.7 million, and it is expected to drop to 3 million in 1991.

Man cannot manage nature through a series of ad hoc rescue attempts, ignoring the underlying causes for the loss of biodiversity. The answer is not to dilute the Endangered Species Act but to better anticipate the consequences of human activity, focusing on entire ecosystems rather than on single species. By the time a creature joins the endangered list it may be too late, the genetic stock impoverished, its habitat destroyed...
