...workers, and nonunion mines often pay better than their unionized counterparts, if only to discourage organizing attempts. So there may be some Galatians to whom the Kerr-McGee project seems like a good idea. But they know enough to keep quiet. Storekeepers say they have been threatened with arson if they do business with the newcomer. Many citizens are chary of talking with strangers. A strapping young man emerging from Ragsdale's Laundromat says that, although he needs a job, he turned down $14 an hour to join nonunion construction workers. "My dad's a miner...

...decision clicits a tantrum from young Brooke. Her slightly older consort, though, reacts with far more maturity--he sets fire to Jade's house. Many people think the desire of landlords to collect insurance money leads to most arson: statistics prove, however, that thwarted young love is, more often than not, real cause. When he tries to rescue Jade from the blaze he almost dies. He is then sentenced to several years in a state psychiatric institution. The names in this story have been changed to protect the innocent. But that isn't the end, unfortunately...
...urgency of Burger's plea. They began in the State Prison of Southern Michigan in Jackson, a dreary, 57-acre fortress built in 1926 to hold 4,000 inmates, but currently filled with 5,600 convicts.

Whatever brought them to the U.S., the Marielitos have one shocking discovery...
