Heading Bush off at the pass
The Sundance Kid led a final effort to head off the leasing of tracts of Utah near beloved national parks for oil and gas exploration.

In filing a lawsuit to stop the leases, Robert Redford called the Bush administration "morally criminal" pushing through the leases without the usual comment period:

No place on earth can speak to the balance of beauty and nature like these areas

If the suit fails, the leases—allowing drilling near Arches and Canyonlands national parks and Dinosaur National Monument—will be issued Friday.
