...also slow and gently, meandering through meadows which were solid yellow from their cloaks of mountain daisies. But it was the quiet of a river which is battered and exhausted from the reckless rush through a steep gorge where it has been cut to snowy foam against the chaotic jumble of jagged boulders, where it has hurtled over precipices--not in smooth little aprons but in balls of white water which shoot far out into the air and then plummet downwards like rockets, leaving behind them long confetti-streamers which are lost below in dense clouds of mist.

V. Soong, "China's Smartest Banker...
...accounting method for public power projects as the Federal Power Commission prescribes for private companies, definite division of territory for rural electrification, cessation of Federal gifts to cities wanting their own distribution systems, purchase of private systems at prices to be set by impartial tribunals. And to forestall the chaotic break-up of the big power systems, Mr. Willkie asked that the "death sentence" for holding companies be modified, but only to the extent of allowing "first degree" holding companies (no intermediates) to own the geographically diversified properties already in their possession...
