| Deseret News Survey Shows Mormons Still Dominate Utah |
| The Deseret News completed its five-day look at the
most powerful and influential Utahns, creating a list of 20 people that is
dominated by active members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. At least half of those on the Deseret News' list, and all of the top
five on that list, are active LDS Church members. But the News points out
that the nature of power in Utah has changed dramatically, broadening to
include more people and more points of view. |
| Most Influential in Utah are Mormon |
| The Deseret News yesterday started a series of
articles on the men it has identified as the most influential and powerful
in Utah. The five-part series, to be published daily through Thursday, will
include an article on each of the three men considered the most influential
of all, and articles identifying other influential Utahns. |
| Hatch Still Involved in Battle Over Judicial Appointees |
| Four years ago the Senate Judiciary Committee found
itself deadlocked over one of President Clinton's nominees to the
Justice Department. In an attempt at levity, the committee's ranking
Democrat and Grateful Dead fan, Patrick Leahy, sent the chairman,
Orrin Hatch, a Jerry Garcia tie. In turn, Hatch - a staunch
Republican conservative - sent Leahy a Rush Limbaugh tie. |
