They were not engineers nor were they responsible for maintenance on the damn. They did not directly supervise those who were charged with maintaining it. They were not responsible for the flood and the deaths. However, unlike many other members of the South Fork Club, Carnegie & Frick did NOTHING to assist in the clean up. Nor did they extend any help to the survivors. (I'm not defending them. I just want to despise them for the correct reasons.)

I am about halfway through and i have to say it is a better book than some of the other garbage we have to read. It is a little slow but somewhat enjoyable. I have to read this book for school.

Frick certainly had good reason to say what he did! And yes, how do workers that work 12 hour shifts have time to go to a Carnegie library? Great book!

Management firms like DJ Burke, and Law firms like Jackson Lewis are retained when management finds out that a union drive is ensuing in their company. Polls by Peter Hart have shown that around 50% of employees would like to be members of a union. So why is the number of union members around 10%? Could it be the intimidation by the above mentioned groups, along with the anti-union propaganda of the National Right to Work organization. 'Right to Work' passed in Oklahoma four years ago and now the economy is lousy. check the website http://www.nmchurches.org/public_policies/pprite.html There is still a lot of union-busting going on in this country.
