...legal clout to back up its stiff requirements. It calls for civil penalties of up to $10,000 a day in fines, plus criminal penalties of up to $25,000 a day and two years' imprisonment. While the strictures apply to all polluters, the biggest bite will be taken out of heavy industry...
...than the first, Santana. What it offers instead is a rare poetic delicacy. Rhythms move in parallel layers, interrupting, overlaying, penetrating one another, multiplying into mathematical complexity, finally merging into one overwhelming musical thrust. Unlike many rock groups, Santana uses lyrics rarely, avoiding cultural ferment in favor of musical bite. Though it offers an occasional vocal solo (as in the bluesy Hope You're Feeling Better), most of its featured solos are on electric guitar, organ or electric piano.

But sans sense, primates, and progeny of puny primates! Why bite one another now, though your ancestors might have? Répondez s'il vous plait! man hunting man! Ach, mein Gott! are human beings fools or what? In the interim . . . while I wait, and you tell, mach's nach, aber mach's besser, viz., carry on, boys, and continue...
