The backlash against Newt Gingrich and other Republicans in the1995 session, the article suggests, should illustrate to the Presidentthe political price of threatening environmental values. The disregardof environmental stewardship in Bush's policies runs counter to aRepublican tradition dating back to Theodore Roosevelt. The Timespuzzles over the President's deference to industrial lobbyists. For thePresident to bolster his approval rating and stop the defection ofmoderate Republicans in Congress, he must listen to his constituency,and make his public relations efforts consistent with his substantivepolicies, the New York Times concludes.
