Because it was getting cold. Yana and I went to the very top, stripped, and got into the hot sulfur water. The water was very warm, about 18 inches deep. We glided through the pool with only our hands supporting us and looked out over the rim. We could see the string of little pools; the waterfall and the swimming pool, the ruins of the resort on the right, the ravine beyond, and way off in the night, another row of mountains. Then our shoulders got cold and we slid back into the water...

This would not only make North Slope drilling practical and profitable, but would encourage development of Alaska's huge deposits of iron, sulfur, copper and other minerals. The Manhattan expedition could provide other benefits as well. By opening up the Northwest route for commercial shipping, it would cut the distance between New York and Tokyo by 3,320 miles and save shippers both time and money...

...class,/Ain't got no mother,/Ain't got no father,/Ain't got no culture") telegraphs the credo of the self-proclaimed have-nots of the '60s. Satire with a playful nip makes a treat of an air-pollution ditty ("Welcome-sulfur dioxide,/Hello-carbon monoxide,/The air, the air is everywhere"). The dance numbers are nimble but not al ways fluent, with the cast sometimes thundering about like a cattle stampede...
