...interested in action, not cliches; problem solving, not promise making; an active concern for the future, not a passive contentment with the past." The hallmark of the politicians who recognize these concerns is an intense conviction that state and local governments must cope with their own problems rather than allow them to go by default to Washington for consideration. The approach is essentially nonideological, even nonpolitical?and thus is appealing to the increasingly youthful, well-educated and independent U.S. electorate. To new voters, says Evans, "the traditional clatter of politics makes very little sense. They would rather have solutions." Perhaps...
...page and calls them "instant posters." Thus the 34 pages consist mostly of white space. The purpose of this, states the preface, is to keep the words from "bumping into, and obscuring each other. To monumentalize them-make them stand out in three-dimensional relief-allow them to be felt, touched, tasted, chewed over...
...then proceeds to show that social structures in the two countries are al ready quite similar. Both have large managerial groups, and both still allow glaring inequalities-the "half-truths and hypocritical evasion" of Soviet propaganda notwithstanding.

There are great differences between cities with some of the new, privileged industries and those with older, antiquated industries. As a result...
Combined with the new Central Certificate Service, which will eventually allow brokers to leave all stocks traded among themselves in a central clearinghouse, computerized certificates should go a long way toward streamlining back-office operations on Wall Street.

Though such "fails" have not yet been a serious problem, technically they now represent a $3.24 billion debt owed by firms caught short of certificates. The situation could become critical...
Turning to camera styles, those conflicts quickly established in a melodrama, for example, allow a director like Hitchcock to bare to an audience the senses and emotions of a character through cutting, just as romantic abstraction allow a Sternberg to light experimentally with a daring inconceivable in plainer films. Themes and preoccupations as serious as these would be substantially unbearable treated in the context of everyday life--all films would resemble Judgment At Nuremberg. And, just as Poe and Hawthorne made their statements through the heightened reality of romance, the master film-makers are invariably liberated by the specialized contexts...
