Ultimately this energy source stands to succeed. It comes not from OPEC but from the nation's own abundant natural resources. Even if the big distilleries are never built, there is much promise and fast growing interest in the fuel self-sufficiency that could stem from cellar and barnyard do-it-yourself stills. The ethanol they produce could be mixed with gasoline and used to fuel private autos and tractors...
Rock is still a kind of music-and a life-style-in which women are frequently called "chicks" and are, as performers or presences, expected to behave accordingly. You cluck prettily. You smooth your feathers nicely. You don't try to take over the barnyard. When Carolyne Mas says, "I'm not a chick singer," she is not so much handing down a manifesto as setting up an aesthetic credo.

The book dances quickly through a field as woolly as the history of philosophy prior to Marx. For example, France...
During their recent trip to the People's Republic, American journalists filmed hand-holding couples in city parks, raided beauty parlors and chronicled a Peking duck's journey from barnyard to dinner table. The Chinese sent home low-key interviews with the manager of Atlanta's Peachtree Plaza Hotel and an average family in Washington. A U.S. reporter wondered whether the visitors might explore some of the less attractive aspects of life in America. "That's not our plan," replied a Chinese television producer. "Our purpose is to help build friendship between our two peoples...
