I just edited the description of The Monkey Wrench Gang. Previous edit inflated the importance of the Glen Canyon Dam sequences, and incorrectly ascribed a "desire to blow up" the dam to all the characters.
--- FBI ---
I have yet to find any evidence that the FBI "opened a file" on Abbey because of MWG, but did find an FOIA URL that suggests it opened a file much earlier than that: http://foia.fbi.gov/foiaindex/abbey.htm. (I haven't seen the PDF's, it's a government server, the URL is not working today. Just like the government!).
The blurb at the URL simply says: "Author Edward Paul Abbey was investigated by the FBI for sedition. While attending school in Pennsylvania, he publicly proposed destruction of draft cards. Abbey served in the U.S. military from 1945 to1947. A Loyalty of Government Employee investigation was conducted while Abbey worked for the National Forest Service." Twang 20:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
