But it occurred to us that a man-made sidewalk out in such a natural wonderland was just a litile bit too mucl like a city park.

It often works out that way, but Alaska has been fortunate in that its Senators have been on the whole of sufficient ! stature to consider the problems at hand thoroughl *lare unwieldy and have not leaned, except on a few occasions, toward . wielding their. political power.
