Central Iowa Sierra Program:
Wednesday, May 19, 7:30 p.m.

"Sisyphus Had It Easy"

 Environmentalists enter  the political fray burdened by  the greatest
handicap that the game can impose. There is no escaping the handicap, no
appeal, no way to rewrite the rules to get an even break. No other cause
faces a handicap of similar magnitude. But if the activists even think of
giving up, they will  have broken faith with the future.

 Bill Leonard worked as reporter and/or editor on newspapers in Nebraska,
Kansas and South Dakota before coming to Iowa. He retired three years ago
after 30 years on the editorial staff of the Des Moines Register. In the
course of writing more than 10,000 editorials, he changed exactly one mind.
His own.

Central Iowa Sierra programs are held at 7:30 p.m. at Grace United Methodist
Church, 37th and Cottage Grove in Des Moines.
