Draper, more explicit, called the congressional cuts "a serious security danger for the United States."

Near where the Bennetts' camp had been, a huge slide of more than 7,500,000 tons of rock from the side of a 7,600-ft.-mountain had fallen into the canyon, sealing it from wall to wall for three-quarters of a mile and damming the Madison into a natural lake.

The image is brutal-cave dwellers chained underground from childhood, unable to see anything except fire shapes on a rock wall, never suspecting the existence of the objects that cast the shadows. When one of them is dragged into the open air and forced to stare first at the objects themselves, then at the agonizing reality of the sun, he fights to disbelieve his senses.
