...pure chaos. Billy Jack movies are confusing. Laughlin, who wrote the scripts for both films, portrays Billy as a passive fellow-within limits. Billy's enemies are big business, cops, state officials and rednecks. He supports "dissidents"-mainly students and Indians who, he makes clear, live off money from the Government they claim is hounding them. Billy likes to meditate but the movies' emotional climax comes when massed throngs scream as he starts to speak...

Since World War II and especially after the Soviet Sputnik launching in 1958, the government and big business foundations have poured money into selected schools. They have tailored their gifts to expansion of pure and applied science programs that train scientists for corporate research and development, mainly involving military contracts.

In 1882, a prospector named Marcus Daly found a 5-ft. vein of 30% pure copper ore while searching for silver. Daly's discovery touched off a wild scramble for the precious ore, which was eventually won by Anaconda. By 1910, the company owned the rights to the minerals underlying 90% of the city. It also held the right of eminent domain, which allows it to buy up any sur face property that stands in the way of its operations...
