...Loeb-Thomson team had been defeated by New Hampshire citizenry twice before. The town of Durham prevented Aristotle Onassis from building an oil refinery there. Walpole had similarly rejected a proposed paper pulp mill. Last spring the people of Seabrook attempted to stop the nuclear plant by the same meangs. In a town meeting they voted 768 to 632 not to allow construction of the "nuke."

He added that an employee who opposed...

Of hundreds of controversies, however, most...
...great polemical record-photographs - the work he did for the National Child Labor Committee after 1908. In the course of it, Hine traversed America, disguising himself and employing all sorts of subterfuges (his friends remembered him as a consummate role player) to get his camera into the factories, mills and mines where children worked. "I have seen their tragic stories, watched their cramped lives, and seen their fruitless struggles in the industrial game, where the odds are all against them," he wrote later.
