...partial to sentimental operettas like Die Fledermaus and The Merry Widow, and made pilgrimages to the Wagner festival in Bayreuth. He scorned Herman Goring's zest for the hunt: "Today when anybody with a fat belly can safely shoot the animal down from a distance." Though he loved the Bavarian Alps, he found mountain climbers and skiers ridiculous. "If I had my way I'd forbid these sports, with all the accidents people have doing them," he once said.

The old mining and homesteading laws should be reformed to prevent continuation of the present system of irrational first-come, first-served claims. In addition, a partial land freeze should be continued until present surveying and assessing programs by federal agencies can be completed.
