Richard Burton on mining.

In July 1980, Richard Burton appeared on the Dick Cavett Show. Here, a clip of him discussing the glories of mining in Wales -- in the miners' eyes. It is, improbably, one of the most beautiful monologues on the dignity of labor ever recorded. For the full show, and Dick Cavett's reflections on it, see here: http://cavett.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/17/whos-afraid-of-richard-burton/
