...only regrettable save for the few flashes of insight he does show, glimmerings of the power and potential that lie below his surface. Seemingly, McPhee's deepest feelings are for the woods, streams and mountains of America-at any rate, The Pine Barrens and Coming Into the Country, an Alaskan saga, are his two finest books. In Giving Good Weight, midway through an account of a canoe trip on which he was accompanied by boatloads of wealthy Harvardians, McPhee shows his understanding of his own mood and of the power of the forest: "Physical labor as a bringer of sleep...

Meanwhile, Sohio has already raised gasoline prices a nickel a gallon...
...garage. Today his New Bedford Panoramex Corp. of Santa Fe Springs, Calif., occupies an 18,000-sq.-ft. building, employs 41 people and expects 1980 sales of $3.5 million. Ozuna assembles the instrument panels that monitor nuclear plants, oil drilling rigs and other high-technology hardware. Firms working the Alaskan oil pipeline use his products. With their dazzling displays of dials and switches, the panels look like something out of the control room in The China Syndrome...
