The road ends in Key West; the fun ends when you leave
Found: 11 Hours 37 Minutes ago
Lexington Hearld-Leader - KEY WEST, Fla. - Imagine that Hieronymus Bosch and Federico Fellini got together with the express purpose of creating an island. The artist and the filmmaker - both known for their bizarre flights of fantasy - would probably have come up with something resembling Key West.
The southernmost of the Florida Keys - closer to Cuba (90 miles away) than to Miami (158 miles) and often referred to as "the end of the road" - in more ways than the obvious, revels in its own oddness. The island has its own anthem ("Cheeseburger in Paradise," written by island icon Jimmy Buffett) and its own flag (the blue banner of the Conch Republic.)
The island dubbed itself the Conch Republic when it briefly "seceded" from the United States on April 23, 1982, in protest of a U.S. Border Patrol blockade of cars entering and leaving Key West after the Mariel boatlift in Cuba. It prompted the then-mayor to designate himself prime minister and apply for foreign aid. Key West still celebrates the date, as it does almost everything else that occurs on the island. It's that kind of place.
The torpor of the tropics inspired onetime Kentucky resident John James Audubon to paint birds and Ernest Hemingway to create memorable characters. Harry Truman slept here (in the former officers' quarters of the U.S. Naval Station, which came to be known as the "Little White House"), and "Top Gun" and "Witness" actress Kelly McGillis once bused tables here (at her own restaurant, Kelly's Caribbean Bar and Grill). Always a mecca for artists, writers and those who found a 9-to-5 existence too confining, it also appealed to less savory types, who found the island's "live and let live" philosophy greatly to their benefit.
Most of Key West's characters, though eccentric, are benign, but that wasn't always the case. In the 18th and 19th centuries, "wreckers" lured Spanish galleons with lanterns, causing them to crash into the rocky reefs ringing the island. Fortunes in Spanish doubloons and jewels were lost, but the late salvager Mel Fisher dedicated his life to recovering them. He spent 16 years reclaiming one of these ships, the Atocha, and today, emeralds, doubloons, solid gold and silver bars, and priceless artifacts from the Atocha and her sister ship, the Santa Margarita, are displayed at Fisher's Maritime Heritage Society Museum. ...

High court hears dispute over land management
Found: 12 Hours 25 Minutes ago
Lexington Hearld-Leader -
WASHINGTON . A Sequoia National Forest dispute reached the Supreme Court on Wednesday, giving conservative justices a chance to limit public challenges to federal land management decisions.
Begun on Burnt Ridge in mountainous Tulare County in California, the dispute now reaches nationwide. During oral argument, several justices seemed prepared to block activists from suing the Forest Service without evidence of specific forest-by-forest harm.
"They are just people interested in forests throughout the United States," Justice Antonin Scalia said of activists. "That's quite different from saying, 'I am about to suffer harm, imminent harm, to me.'."
Chief Justice John Roberts appeared to agree that environmentalists faced a "high hurdle" because of prior Supreme Court decisions restricting lawsuits to federal agency decisions "flushed out by some concrete action." ...
