"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it" -- George Santayana

• MID CENTURY (1920-1970)
  • CADES COVE
  • SHENANDOAH

• AMERICAN HERITAGE TRUST ACT (1988-90)
• URBAN ABUSES -- Government land acquisition abuses are by no means limited to rural areas. There are many sad examples of devastating results on urban neighborhoods.
• VICTIMS OF REGULATORY ABUSE -- These are the techniques that will be used by government and pressure groups to make "unwilling" sellers into "willing" sellers without needing eminent domain (condemnation) powers.
