the natural environment via growing reuse and recycling.
The key element is to generate cloth reusing a convenient
component of everyday living,” mentioned Mattias Wallander, CEO with USAgain. “Clothes

Thanks, Ray–I’ve put Williams’s book on my list.

Terrific interview, Bill, more expansive and informative than the last one you posted, though I think that one’s pretty good, too. You know, Ron Maxwell attended a Rockford Institute function some goodly time back. I think it was a summer school and that he talked to us as you did on another occasion (or was it the same?), though I can’t recall the subject.
While I was reading you expatiating on the Civil War, I thought of a book that, if you’ve not read it, I highly recommend. It’s Bitterly Divided by David Williams, and it’s about dissent in the deep South during the war. Williams seems to have made the topic into his own cottage industry, and he certainly likes to document what he writes so that the myth of a solid Dixie, before, during, and after the war is buried with a cheroot driven through its lying heart.
