Degler shows clearly that any Southern opposition to slavery before the War--like the insurgency of the Southern Populists, who forged a brief political alliance between poor whites and blacks--was fragile.

In Nashville, Tenn., steam created by burning refuse is used to heat and air condition downtown office buildings. In Denver Adolph Coors Co. will likely soon be firing its brewery's boilers with the city's trash. But all of these efforts are relatively minor compared with the one decided on by St. Louis' Union Electric Co. after a 23-month test with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the city...
