Bighorn debate not just about IdahoENGELWOOD, Colo. — What do a textile worker in North Carolina, a lance corporal in Iraq, a young father from Peru and a restaurateur in New York have in common?

Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, is right in seeking a “time out” in the environmentalists’ mad rush to destroy a quarter of that industry.
