However amusing, such extremism is not a healthy way to combat pollution. Neither is the kind of choler displayed by Fortney Stark Jr., a California banker who delivered one of the country's angriest speeches. "Throw a few chairmen of the board in jail," Stark declared, "and you'll see pollution disappear quite rapidly. You'd also probably see some pretty drastic prison reforms."

The first thing Schulte noticed was that "there were very few people who could walk." All twelve officers had been killed or wounded, and an enlisted man with the equivalent rank of buck sergeant had assumed command. Only at daybreak did the full extent of the massacre become clear. The official count, which seemed on the low side to some officials, was 33 dead and 76 wounded of 200 Americans. Of the 28 South Vietnamese troops in the base...
