...just about everything Dow's people need, Dow provides for them--right there. Dow has its own 131-man police force, its own 20-bed hospital, two fire stations, and a mammoth cafeteria for its 12,000 employees. It seems, in fact, that a person can spend his whole life fenced within Dow's plant, at no great physical inconvenience--if he can learn to tolerate the smoke...
