Embarking from Seattle, the Cavalier plows north through the stomach-turning swells of the Gulf of Alaska and the whipping gales of Bristol Bay. It squirts through the Bering Strait and after two weeks reaches the most perilous leg of the 3,200-mile journey: the 270-mile trip from Wainwright on the western flanks of northern Alaska to Prudhoe Bay. Here the tugs putter along at four to five knots, creeping above shoals that, in places, lie only 5 ft. beneath hulls still weighted down with 100,000 gal. of diesel fuel.

...caustic of tongue. Sometimes, Kitchen grasps the nettle of truth with blazing lucidity; at other times, he stumbles through a fog bank of displaced memories.

A similar social explosion occurred a year ago in the seaport city of Bristol, where a police drug raid on a cafe provoked both blacks and whites to take to the streets. Twenty-one policemen and nine civilians were injured in clashes, but property damage was far less extensive than in Brixton. To many analysts, unemployment and poor housing were the common denominators...
