...result of a lawsuit filed by the state, Hooker agreed to build a huge vault to contain its wastes. It has dug a hole 18 ft. deep and 300 yds. long. The bottom and sides of the excavation were formed of coarse beach sand, which would have allowed chemicals to filter down to the aquifer lying 80 ft. or less below the surface. Therefore, Hooker is lining the vault with 10-ft.-thick walls of compacted clay. The vault will rise five stories into the air. "A monument to stupidity," snorts Marion Dawson, a leader in the long fight...
...concerns about pollution damage be something that most Americans probably believe to be safely beyond the reach of contamination: ground water. This is water that lies buried from a stretches feet to a half mile or more beneath the land's surface in stretches of permeable rock, sand and gravel known as aquifers. In the U.S. there is five times as much water in such subterranean reservoirs as flows through all its surface lakes, streams and rivers in a year. While most ground water is believed to remain pure, concern is rising because it is one of nature...
...concentration camp occurs on a bright, unclouded day, a detail that clashes with a common notion associating Hitler's victims with overcast skies. Fuller's vision is probably truer. He never shies away from color, and enjoys cutting from a crisp shot of blue sky and gold sand to the dull greys and greens of the infantryman's daily existence. Yet the colors never disappear; when there are no more flowers or there is no more blood, Fuller closes in on Lee Marvin's face, a rough-hewn palette of balanched hair, amber skin and watery eyes...
During a so-called Coast Week last month, would-be saviors of the shores staged several events, among them a "surf festival" in Orange County, Calif., 4-H Club bicycle treks along the Great Lakes in Michigan and Wisconsin, and a sand castle-building contest between Alliance activists and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Bethany Beach, Del. The engineers' castle lasted longest, but all the entries, naturally, crumbled eventually -symbolic evidence of the folly of building on dunes and beaches. It was good fun, but it also helped draw attention to the overdevelopment, worsening pollution and mismanagement...
