...picturesque rivers and forests. Boise residents live there not by chance but by choice." Correspondent Michael Moritz trekked through Tucson, Santa Fe and Salt Lake City before winding up at Arco's Black Thunder mine in Wyoming. He watched in awe as "shovels the size of freighters dumped coal into trucks the size of houses." In Washington, D.C., Correspondent Gary Lee interviewed Congressmen and other powerbrokers active in the frontier states...
...fiance and saw to it that they were mar ried before relinquishing control over the newcomer. Authorities wired Sophie's un cle in Madison before letting her visit relatives in New York. The first days in Manhattan were overwhelming. Sophie had never seen subways, trolley cars, coal stoves, pineapples and mobs of people "so friendly you did not have to be afraid to talk even if you didn't speak English.

The layoff of the steelworkers has serious repercussions...

For the steelworkers and coal miners who put in eight to twelve hour days of hard, physical labor they, more than anyone, can appreciate and identify with the physical life of a football player. Football offers a diversion to a grueling, unglamorous existence--the sequences in "Deerhunter" where steelworkers congregate after their shifts in local bars to drink Iron City beers and watch the Steeler game are no figments of the scriptwriter...
