Project director Ronald Pollock, a New York University law student, admitted that "the project won't have any great impact on Mississippi, but it will on the people who go down there." Most are first-year law students, who, said Pollock, would be likely to commit more time to such work in the future...
...their considerable merits aside, are valuable as indicators of his early concern with themes and fictional modes which dominate his later writing. Blue City is an ultra-tough, gut-wrenching narrative of personal vengeance, distinguished by a flexible and convincing use of vernacular speech, a sound knowledge of the impact produced on a human body by objects of diverse shape and size, and a vision of American life in which obsessive violence is not a chance phenomenon but an invariable condition.

Rampton has twice intervened in the deadlocked negotiations between Kennecott Copper Corp., the nation's No. 1 producer, and the United Steelworkers union, the impact of the strike is spreading. Some equipment and chemical firms have laid off help, and state welfare officials are paying an estimated $4,000 a day to idled workers, including some strikers. Sales have fallen among railroads and truckers, and banks report a substantial drop in the clearings and debits that reflect the pace of the state's economy...
