From the Daily Grist:



ALL THE ANTI-PRESIDENT'S MEN
Robert Redford, in a letter made public on Friday, has royally dissed
an invitation from U.S. Interior Secretary Gale Norton to attend a
press event with her later this month to release a California condor
into the wild.  Norton invited Redford after learning that he was
critical of her policies.  She noted that he had starred in the 1975
thriller "Three Days of the Condor" and suggested that they could
"discuss the best way to conserve America's unspoiled landscapes and
the wild creatures who inhabit them."  Redford told Norton that
instead of meeting with her, he said he would use his time to draw
attention to "the devastating environmental repercussions of the
agenda you and President Bush embrace."
