Editor's Note
"Grazing on public lands is declining, but recreation on public lands is steadily increasing. (See statistics, page 9.) Some environmentalists have suggested that recreation is a better use of public lands, on the theory that it is less destructive than extractive uses like grazing. We thought we would explore that issue. This edition of the newsletter shows the results of our exploration. Prof. Knight's, Mr. Miller's, and Mr. Baca's Bibliographies were too extensive to print here, but if you call us, we will be happy to send them to you."
