A COUPLE OF CUTUPS

LENGTH: Short :   18 lines
ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  ERIC BRADY STAFF. Harvey Childress (left) and Billy 
          Blankenship of Cycle Systems Inc. use a blowtorch to cut scrap iron 
          into pieces small enough to be loaded into train cars and hauled 
          away for recycling. The company's scrap mound off U.S. 220 looks 
          unchanged from day to day, but actually turns over 13 times a year.
