From the text...'Bill Wattenburg (Letters, Science's Compass, 6 Nov., p. 1051) accuses the U.S. National Park Service and ecologists quoted by Richard Stone (Research News, 5 June, p. 1527) of struggling 'to rationalize the official burning of the forests of Yellowstone in l988,' and he cites unnamed 'independent observers who know the status of the park today' to support his claim that the 'rosy picture of renewal' presented in Stone's article is inaccurate. We wish to call attention to numerous scientific publications that refute Wattenburg's assertions.'
