...President is guilty of "a failure of leadership." But not because he hasn't whipped up patriotic fervor for the war. Bush's basic failure is that he heads the most incompetent Administration in U.S. history, one that makes mistake after mistake without changing course or admitting error. I am a U.S. Marine veteran.

But in the desert there's not a lot of margin for error, and a chronic water imbalance can be environmentally devastating. Robert Hershler, a taxonomist at the Smithsonian Institution, has combed through the biota of hundreds of springs in the Great Basin region, including Snake Valley, and has discovered more than 100 new species of spring snails, some of which are confined...
