Besides the summer work, large numbers of workers spend the winter and spring pruning and "pulling leaves." This last job involves plucking the leaves from the grape clusters early in the summer so that the grapes will be able to develop fully. Pluckers travel about two miles a day on their knees, and return home with burning sulfur insecticide spray all over their bodies and in their eyes...

Super Magnets. EMS 1 is the brainchild of Westinghouse Mechanical Engineer Stewart Way, a specialist in magnetohydrodynamics. As far back as 1958, he recalls, "I had a hankering to develop an electrical submarine without propellers or jets." But in those days there was one insurmountable problem: to develop a magnetic field strong enough to propel a full-size sub, Way calculated, would require a conventional magnet weighing 500,000 tons-almost 80 times as heavy as an entire Polaris submarine. Working out some method of propelling a small-scale experimental sub seemed a waste of time...
