industry is responding with little com plaint and a good deal of action. Today, 94% of the 1,726 plants that discharge wastes into the Ohio River basin meet the requirements set by the Ohio River Valley Sanitation Commission (v. only 75% five years ago). At its Houston refinery, Shell Oil now purifies its used water so thoroughly that fish swim in a pond at the end of the process. Ford Motor Co. announced last month that it will spend $1,000,000 to scrub liquid wastes flowing into the Rouge River from its Dearborn steel plant. Four major steel...

He also paints the romanticized Indian-fighting army of the Old West as a shiftless and uninspired collection of sad sacks.
