Well it was during Taft's presidency. Its significant because it shows Taft weakness as a leader in my point of view. He suceeded Roosevet(TR). Pinchot is the heda iof the Forest Service Roosevelt set up. Ballinger is Taft's appointee as sec. of interior. It was alleged that Ballinger was planning to sell public lands in Alaska , which contained coal to business interest. Pinchot attacks taft's administration and he is forced to resign. A lawyer that defends Pinchot also has damaging evidence against the Taft administration.

Extreme religious groups complain about everything, they are in fact the only reason I read the Harry Potter books. Never would have piked that book up if it was not for them. My guess is it has monsters with horns (devil) and some more stuff that will just cause me to go into a rant so I will stop now.
