...enough. Nevertheless, Toffler and his breed seem to show striking originality and an absence of timidity which allows them insouciantly to ignore 300 years of social theory and discredit the work of hundreds of brilliant and dedicated academics in three or four sentences. Listening to Toffler is like a breath of fresh air. Having never been rigorously inculcated with the thoughts of dozens of dead thinkers and their often obsolete thoughts, Toffler discards dogma and illustrates the remarkable capacities of an unleashed mind...

A drinker merely drops a quarter in a slot and blows in a straw. The machine then registers the alcohol level in his or her blood. In most states, anyone with a reading of more than .10% alcohol in the blood is considered legally drunk...
