Hess felt that he had been purged by the Republicans and he departed from involvement with grand-scale politics altogether. </p><p>In 1965 Hess took up motorcycle riding. His need to occasionally repair his motorcycles led to his interest in welding (which he learned at Bell Vocational School, in 1967). Welding skills gave him something he could trade upon. Initially, he set up a commercial partnership, with a fellow Bell graduate, doing on-site industrial welding. Eventually, his skill led to an involvement with welded-metal sculpture. </p><p>All of this unfolded around the same time as his divorce from his first wife.

Goldwater replied, "Well, let's wait and see what Dick Nixon wants to do about that one."

He eventually came to the conviction that virtually no one in national politics identified with these people anymore.

For instance, Hess wrote: "In one experiment undertaken by the author and associates, an inner-city basement space, roughly thirty by fifty feet, was sufficient to house plywood tanks in which rainbow trout were produced at a cost of less than a dollar per pound.
