| Tiivistelmä: | Pacific lumber was acquired in 1986 by MAXXAM, whose decision to double PL's harvest of old-growth redwoods precipitated 11 years of environmental protests. Intense media coverage blames the Drexel-financed takeover for threatening headwaters forest, the largest privately owned ancient redwood forest. The authors establish that the threat to headwaters is not attributable to MAXXAM's junk bond-financed takerover. Government's response to dramatic crises encourages interest groups to use emotional appelas to influence resource allocation. |
