his hands and nails would never be anything but a mechanic's.
He found it almost impossible to sleep; obviously there were certain luxuries one had to get used to.

It was not as exciting as Dobie had thought it would be. The law in action appeared to be largely a dull, plodding business of questions and answers, objections, conferences, recesses.
What could all this talk of company unions and intimidation mean to people who had never worked in a mill or lived in a steel town?
sit one of those beautiful lawyers on a casting in the mill yard and surround him with steelworkers and how long would his starched linen stay unwilted?
crumbling hovels and underfed children, and lives without beauty or peace.
jury of ghosts: Mike Dobrejcak and Mary and Pauline, Joe Dubik and Kracha—the maimed and the destroyed, the sickly who died young, the women worn out before their time with work and childbearing, all the thousands of lives the mills had consumed as surely as they had consumed their tons of coke and ore.
They would have known what the words meant. They would have known what was...

Flack had been mentioned more than once in the Washington testimony and seldom flatteringly, but so had a dozen other Superintendents.
Behind Dobie there was an approving murmur that made Flack lift his head.
Their eyes met. Dobie thought, “You meant every word of it, you bastard. And I don't forget that easy.” And perhaps Flack's thoughts were not dissimilar. Aloud, Dobie said with a faint shrug, “That's okay with me, Mr. Flack.”

There was a brief flurry of activity by what was left of the District Council. The indomitable stooges who composed it denounced the C.I.O. and held conferences looking toward organizational aid and possible affiliation with the A.F.L.
These conferences, with a sort of idiot fatality, duly collapsed over the craft issue.

Dobie's Uncle John
no knightly plume had ever been worn more proudly or celebrated a greater victory;
He felt proud and confident and in no special hurry, the way he felt when he had a job of work to do that was a little out of the ordinary but that he knew exactly how to go about doing,
The way I felt with a new case with serious charges and high stakes.

No nation could permit such waste of its human material any more than it could permit the waste of its substance in the eroded hills and poisoned rivers and blasted earth of the steel country;
Environment!
And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?
Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.
