Original Toronto Star caption: A sculptor at work on as Crazy Horse doesn't use a chisel and tiny six million tons of rock to move he uses dynamite, jackhammers and bulldozers and he works in an aura of danger, dangling on ropes down sheer cliffs to drill, or as in this instance, operating an awkward machine right to the edge of a 2,000-foot drop. Strength courage are needed as well as artistic genius, and you have to plan on spending a lifetime if, as this sculptor does, you spurn government funding. [Incomplete]
