In Hazard
- Abstract
I WOULD just as soon forget about Hazard, Kentucky, a desire I share with a number of its unemployed residents, the large U.S. coal companies, the United Mine Workers of America, and the Federal Government. I went there in late March for a large national magazine on an assignment that did not, for innumerable and irrelevant reasons, work out. I was there for four days-rather longer than most visiting journalists, sociology students, or candidates for elective office usually stay before issuing authoritative reports on the place (twenty-four hours is par for this course)-and I have not been so happy to leave a strange town since the time I departed from Montgomery, Alabama after being set upon by Confederate patriots following a White Citizens’ Council meeting.
