* <<F4I.0085>> Stone carriers

I happened across a photograph by Lisa Kristine of Nepali children
carrying enormous slabs of stone on their backs, and I was swept-up
with delight at the clever rig they were using to carry them: a strip
of rag, a rope, a stick -- the stone's own weight tightens the rope
and stick against it -- a sort-of gravic vice.  Ingenious!

My reverie was cut short when I read the caption for the photo and
learned that these children were slaves.
