I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised to see that Alaska’s senators want to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (News, March 14), but I was. Why would I want to lose such a national treasure for the sake of a few cents off my gas for a few weeks? Preserving a wilderness that could make the Grand Canyon blush is worth at least a buck. No doubt a few scratches beneath the surface of this proposal would reveal a well-connected special interest poised to make a few million off the national interest. Sens. Frank Murkowksi and Ted Stevens should be ashamed.
