| Page 26: | "The 'fee demonstration' program, a misguided Clinton-era pilot program to collect higher admission fees at national parks and forests, was made permanent." |
| Why "misguided"? Pope does not explain. |
| Page 28: | "When judges ruled that the navy was breaking environmental laws, the administration attempted to eliminate judicial review for anything to do with the oceans." |
| Refers to a specific service; S/B "the Navy". |
| Page 47: | "In a later race, Rove 'discovered' that an electronic bug had been found in Clements's office, just hours before he was to debate his opponent." |
| UPDATE 10/16: Previously, I thought this should read "Rove's office". However, Carl Pope writes that it is correct. Obviously I'm missing something here. |
| Page 120: | "...turn lose personal watercraft (Jetskis) in the park system's lakes and beaches." |
| S/B "loose" and "jet skis" or "jet-skis". (A "Jetski" is a Russian fighter plane, nicht wahr?) |
| Page 168: | "The reforms of the next decade let light into the backrooms." |
| S/B "back rooms". And the authors did so well with "under way"... |
