Subject: In April 1989, following the history-making oil spill of the Exxon Valdez in Prince William Sound, the author travelled to the scene of the disaster to report, to witness, to help out, and, most of all, to begin top fathom out the causes and consequences of the disaster. As the spill spread more and more widely, so did its implications and ramifications: economic as well as ecological, psychological as well as public, mythological as well as informational. The spill and its aftermath reached into every sector of Alaksan life as well as into the lower 48 states. The spill of oil was almost immediately followed by a spill of Exxon's money and power, as it attempted to contain and clean up both the oil and the damage to its public image
