...carrying off the mountain bit by bit is done by huge 450-ton power shovels that chew off 25-ton chunks of ore in a single bite and dump them into 75-ton trucks. The ore is then crushed and transported by 150-car, mile-long freight trains to Port Hedland, where it is loaded aboard freighters at the rate of 10,000 tons an hour.

...equal sex admissions to an abstract discussion of "relative pain levels." The problem, however, and we must be very clear about this, is not single persons, for these people merely embody the characteristics which our educational system, and our society, select for. The problem is fully systematic; the Dump Nixon movement will be no more successful in putting an end to the war than was the Dump LBJ movement...
