The Magic Is Back For the 1 million Americans who crowded the beaches and causeways around the Kennedy Space Center, and for millions of other Americans clustered around the TV sets the tension was palpa- ble. As the count-down clock flashed out the number of seconds to lift-off, the eyes of an entire na- tion focused on Launch Pad 39-B and the gleaming white shuttle Discovery, flanked by its two solid rocket boosters and clinging to the side of the giant colored external fuel tank.

Fighting For Yellowstone As thousands struggle to save a na- tional treasure, critics attack the Park Service for its ' free burn ' policy and for waiting so long to suspend it. For the first time in the history of the United States, the country ' s oldest national park was completely closed to visitors. Nine separate fires have completely de- stroyed over 900,000 acres of the forest, forty percent of the parks total land area. Over ten thousand men and wom- en, including two thousand Army troops, battled to save these precious lands and valued buildings. As bad as the fires may seem, Yellowstone wasn ' t the only land to burn. In Washington State, a minor 160- acre fire spread overnight to cover more than 25,000 acres-driving the state ' s total burned past 70,000 acres. In Idaho, six fires scorched almost 120,000 acres. Mon- tana, Alaska, New York, Connecticut and many other states in the West have also experienced forest fires. The gov- ernment has spent close to 300 million dollars trying to contain these fire and they were successful. Washington Oregon The Yellowstone blazes were amoung a series of damaging fires that have strickert the West. Wind- swept flames have burned 3.8 mil- lion acres since early June. Firefighters like those near Old Faithful can do little to slow the advan- tage of the advancing walls of flames. 26 — World
