Finally they suggested that Mineral King's real riches could be realized in 20th century America as a year-round vacation resort. It sounded at first like a sterling idea to almost everyone concerned. Last week, however, when the Disney group's plans were given final approval by the Forest Service, Mineral King became the center of a modern claims battle between conservationists, who want to keep the wilderness sequestered, and recreationists...

Rabbi Herschel Small testified that the Talmudic law of Yichud did indeed prohibit Ruth from sitting up overnight in the chair alone with young Jack. Last year a jury awarded Ruth $35,000 in damages and her father $2,231 for actual medical costs. Ruth married a rabbi after the ski-lift incident, but the marriage has been annulled...
