In this issue of Earth First! the Journal Collective announces the appointment of Mike Roselle as editor of the journal, Larry Winslett calls for attention to the threat of 1996 Olympics to Georgia’s Stone Mountain, and R. F. Mueller discusses the US Forest Service and logging.     

Ever wonder how the U.S. Forest Service justifies cutting all those small trees in clearcuts? Oh, I know that they work hand in glove with the timber industry creating jobs and promoting economic development and wildlife benefits. […] Wouldn’t it make economic—and ecological—sense to allow trees to grow larger?

— R. F. Mueller
