...fair to indict West and Gates for their new book on the basis that we are being misled? Perhaps. The most (startling?) interesting sentence of Early's review is one that comes in the last paragraph: "...Mr. Gates is far more honest than Mr. West is about the rank opportunism concealed in his (and all) bourgeois ambition."

Things were so bad, in fact, that federal agents raided the facility in 1989 and eventually shut it down. A grand jury later voted to indict plant operator Rockwell International for violating environmental laws. (Federal prosecutors and Rockwell agreed in the end to a plea bargain: the most serious charges were dropped, and the company paid an $18.5 million fine...
