Judge McManus allowed public questioning and potential additional voir dire amid concerns of publicity and racism affecting juror neutrality.

Dam project faced years of delays and safety concerns
The 300 foot high dam on the Teton river near St. Anthony faced delays since Congress authorized it in 1964. In 1973 a former Bureau of Reclamation geologist warned of possible leaks due to soil. Shirley Pytlak testified in 1973 about core drilling tests pouring 300 gallons a minute. The 9th Circuit in 1974 upheld the adequacy of an environmental impact statement. Construction topped out last December with the second phase ongoing.
