...stamina of U.S. coal miners should not be underestimated. Suffering is nothing new for them; it is often a matter of pride. They are demonstrating their resourcefulness in adversity. Outfitted in quilted parkas, they can be seen roaming the snow-covered hills and hollows of Appalachia in search of game to keep down meat bills. Their wives have canned fruit and vegetables to be stored in the cellar. If the utilities have stockpiled coal, so have the miners-to keep their homes warm during the cruel winter ahead...

Tesman's pride is his books, his major tension Lovborg's intellectual competition and his own half-admitted jealousy--a myopic outlook that leaves little room for his smothered wife...
