A declaration of war it
was not. But in Utah, where polygamy has been a persistent but submerged issue
for generations, no governor had so much as whispered a public opinion on the
topic before. So when Gov. Mike Leavitt asserted last May that "polygamy is
against the law" and polygamist Tom Green was sentenced last month to five years
in prison, it appeared to signal an unprecedented crackdown on multiple
marriages. With the Winter Olympics only a few months off, image-conscious
public officials are starting to talk tough about a crime that law enforcement
officials have routinely ignored. But it remains to be seen if the tough talk
will translate into action any time soon
