- <p> DIED. Edward Abbey, 62, radical environmentalist and author
- of a score of books that eloquently attacked the defiling of
- the American West by dam builders, mobile-home denizens and
- ski-resort developers; of internal bleeding; in Tucson. His 1975
- novel The Monkey Wrench Gang chronicled the exploits of
- ecological guerrillas who sabotaged dams and bridges in the
- Southwest; the book inspired Earth First! and other hard-line
- groups. "The forests and mountains and desert canyons," Abbey
- once wrote, "are holier than our churches. Therefore let us
- behave accordingly."
