Will This Massive Outcry [about Pollution] Continue Long Enough To Have Effective Results? Will Federal And State Laws Be Enacted With Effective Enforcement Clauses? Will People Be Concerned Long Enough To Pay The Bill Through Higher Prices? Will Towns Tole Lost Jobs When It Proves Too Costly To Clean Obsolete Plants?...

Experts Kill Me. Economic Experts, That Is. Corporations, Foundations, Publications And Governments Pay Them By The Bucketful, And They Fill Buckets With Forecasts That Change More Frequently Than White-collar, Workers Do Shirts.

In Fact, If All The Country's Economists Were Laid End To End, They Still Wouldn't Reach A Conclusion.
