Or that Alaska has over 100,000 glaciers? Or that Alaska has both the westernmost and easternmost points in the country?

Another new book set in Alaska tells a less glamorous story. "In the Wake of the Exxon Valdez," by Art Davidson is the first complete account of the environmental disaster which occurred on March 24, 1989, in Prince William Sound, Alaska. The author gives a dramatic account of the tank wreck itself and of the woefully ineffective oil spill response which followed.

They added that they believed Pennington's departure to be temporary and said they expect him to move back into the condo when he returns from California. Questioned on Wednesday about his "Provo address,'' Harmer said he pays rent to Eyring. He confirmed that Pennington lived in the condo for a year but said Pennington moved out three weeks ago. "It's a three-bedroocondo," Harmer added. Harmer said he allows Eyring's visitors to stay in the condo as well. Before being leased to Eyring, the condo was occupied by a group of single men, the property man- ' LIBRARY and if it goes through, "I will be out of Eyring entirely." He said that would eliminate the conflict of interest that might exist if he were elected and Eyring were to seek defense contracts. "I made my decision to run for Congress only after I had concluded the other financial arrangement last January. Had I realized it (the sale of his Eyring assets) would not go through, I would not have filed for election," he stated. Harmer also commented on a court judgment obtained against him by brother-in-laCharles R. Spencer, for $27,000 plus costs. Court m landscape becomes apparent. H. C. Robbins Landon is one of America's most knowledgeable and eminent musicologists. In his latest work, "Mozart: The Golden Years," he traces Mozart's most musically creative, but yet personally troubling period, the last decade of his life.

"The lawsuit has nothing to do with money; it's a family feud," Harmer said. Harmer decries the circulation of bankruptcy court records by his opponents. In 1984, Harmer went through a bankruptcy procedure instituted by North Park Credit, a civil proceeding to determine the dischargeability of a debt. The court concluded in the official court transcript: "That Harmer was not an innocent, unfortunate debtor. He was, instead, an experienced businessman and lawyer, who knew that his actions amounted to the very described in Section wrongdoing 523(a)(2)(B) by incurred discharged law." The court of the code, and therea debt that cannot be under the bankruptcy concluded that Harmer had "obtained money from the Bank by the use of a materially false statement made in writing, submitted to the Bank with the intent to deceive, and reasonably relied on by the Bank to its detri- ment." Records of the court show that Harmer had claimed his net worth at $754,750, and asserted in an updated financial statement that it was $353,000. The court concluded that "in fact, it was only $74,000 at best," and "had the lender known the. truth, loan of $35,000 would not have been made." In a previously published interview, Harmer was quoted concerning that case: "In the trial it was the written documents against my word. There was no hope. In the court the written documentation was all against me. I testified under oath as to what happened. Under no conditions would I admit that I, in any way, committed fraud on the bank or that I, in any way, the facts to the misrepresented court." In his memorandum opinion and order, however, Bankruptcy Judge Glen E. Clark, wrote: "This conclusion is, in part, predicated upon this court's observation of Harmer's demeanor on the witness stand and of his evasive, incomplete and unbelievable answers. There is no evidence in the record that would induce this court to take seriously Harmer's contention that his financial statements were but a formality and that the bank gave him a loan because it was anxious to make Fish happy. According to the bankruptcy transcript, "Fish" was "an influential customer named Marvin V. Fish, who recommended Harmer to the bank as a politically prominent California attorney with an excellent reputation." Harmer said the material recently circulated to state Republican delegates represents "vicious propaganda" that is designed to turn the delegates against him "because they know I am the most qualified candidate." His campaign finance manager, Rick Haskell, said "It has gotten to the point where we as concerned citizens should be ashamed." He was particularly critical of an anonymous letter sent to delegates from "a concerned conservative" and long-tim- e member of the Freeman Institute (National Center for Constitutional Studies) calling Harmer "a political opportunist" and claiming Harmer had "used the Freeman Institute lists for his own selfish purposes." Haskell said Dr. Cleon Skousen, founder of the institute, spoke this week "to a crowd of 50 to 60 people to address the impeccable nature of John's integrity and character." NCCS headquarters in Salt Lake City reported that Harmer served as president and chairman of the board of the Freeman Institute, but stepped down to run for Congress. They said the organization supports him completely. Harmer's campaign manager, Cochrane, declared, "They (his opponents) see John as a wail between them and their success at the convention."

Representatives of the pageant said pageant officials had no comment on the protest. "Pageants symbolize everything that's wrong with women's role in society. They show women as objects; they show women as ornaments," said Michelle Youtz, A Brigham Young University student and one of the group's organizers. Kristin Rushforth, a BYU student from Orem, said the pageant was legitimized by the word "scholarship" in its name. There are no academic requirements for entry, and yet those who win are rewarded with scholarships. "If they're going to give scholarships, let's have an academic competition" which involves both men and women, she said. Rob Edmunds, a Brigham Young University student from Boston, Mass., said pageants emphasize young men to look at the physical qualities of women, while also telling young women they need beauty to succeed.

Johnathon Edward Jense, now living in Georgia, entered the plea Friday morning before Judge Jay E. Banks. A trial date was scheduled for Sept 13. The charges stem from incidents that allegedly occurred Dec. 2, 1987. Three Provo residents, all of 657 W. 500 North, pleaded guilty to various drug charges before Banks. Four people were arrested in the incidents. . Steven Anthony Morales, 28, pleaded guilty to three felony charges of arranging to distribute marijuana within 1,000 feet of a Probation order for sex abuse A Provo man was sentenced to three years probation and treatment for forcible sexual abuse of a child. The charges against Michael J. Martinez, 1994 W. 500 North, stem from an incident alleged to have occurred Oct. 6. He was charged in November. A mental evaluation was ordered and he was found competent in April to stand trial. He pleaded guilty to the charge. His attorney, Steve Madsen, asked the court to put Martinez on probation with treatment at Community Mental Health Center. Jim Taylor, deputy county attorney, requested that probation have intensive superision and Judge Cullen Y. Christensen agreed, saying he was concerned Martinez not "wander off and get into trouble Tim-panog- again." In another case, Christensen sent James Frank Foli to prison for a mandatory 10 years on a sodomy charge. Madsen, his attorney, said there were mitigating circumstances that first-degr- made Foli eligible for release in five years on a five year to life term but the judge said he felt the mitigating and aggravating circumstances were fairly equal and ordered the 10 years. Madsen said the two girls involved in the incident tried to blackmail Foli several weeks after the incident and were not extremely vulnerable. "Mr. Foli has accepted responsibility for his actions," Madsen said. "He has tried to make amends." Madsen said Foli wrote a letter of apology to the victims' families. school. Two other drug counts were dropped. He will be sentenced July 27. Nikki Jensen Morales, 23, pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute. A second count was dropped. The charges stemmed from a May 8 search of her home as well as statements made on her telephone that were recorded via a wiretap. She will be sentenced July 27. James Michael Kohler, 26, pleaded guilty to a cocaine possession charge and attempting to arrange to sell cocaine. He will appear for sentencing July 13. A fourth man charged with eight counts of arranging to distribute and possession of a controlled substance, will appear for arraignment next week. The attorney for Jerry Espinoza, 31, 410 S. 500"V., Provo, asked for a continuance to negotiate a plea agreement.
