Section 2. News Report. Neo-Nazi.
In September, bombs went off in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. They were the work allegedly of a group of Neo-Nazis, three of whom mow sit in an Idaho jail awaiting trial.

While they wait, commentator Clay Mongan has been thinking about the bombings, the boomers and what it all means for his part of ths country.

I lived in a promised land, we got trouble here right now. Some Neo-Nazis declared the north-west to be the homeland for the white races.

In the past several weeks, we've had four bombs blow up. The situation here is serious. I had a hope that they just go away, I was embarrassed by the news coverage. Everytime I saw story, I cringed and though my God will make four more of them move here. Then the bombs exploded in Coeur d'Alene.

Let me describe these people to you. They are men mostly. They like to live in forts and dress up like Hitler. They wear jackboots, brown shirts and military caps. They march around and act tough.

What they are is evil. These are the cowardly little boys who never grow up. It is our misfortune that they came here. The north-west attracts these people with all the attributes of a promised land.

A promised land you see is a place that's far away, isolated and sparsely populated by people who try to mind their own business. The north-west fits that bill. 90% of some of our states are public lands, owned by everybody. That's everybody.

This is a place to breath in. The pioneers came here on the oregon trail. The Mormons came here to practice their religion, the Basques came here to escape poverty and persecution in Spain. Wyomings was the first state to give women the vote, the first to elect woman governor. Idaho was the first to have a Jewish governor.
