...Alaska's mineral treasure, which boasts 31 of the 33 metals on the U.S.'s critical list (exceptions: industrial diamonds, bauxite). The North American continent's only major tin deposits lie in the Seward Peninsula, and some of the world's biggest known iron-ore deposits wait in the Klukwan section. Coal, as one engineer says, is "all over the damn place...
...past 2 to 3 and on to 4. My normal 145 lbs. now weighed 580: I felt compressed, depressed. Even the light rubber ball of the pneumatic release for my camera shutter, held in my hand, seemed unbearably heavy.

Crack of Doom, another look at the disintegration of German military power, is also an advanced reader for other writers about...
...populated with laundrymen who won't iron shirts, with waiters who won't serve, with carpenters who will come around some day maybe, with executives whose minds are on the golf course, with spiritual delinquents of all kinds who have been triumphantly determined to enjoy what was known until the present crisis as 'the new leisure.' We may lack a few of the refinements of Rome's final decadence, but we do have the two-hour lunch, the three-day weekend and the all-day coffee break. And, if you want...
