...Little Time. Controversial as the decontrol plan is, Ford has at least avoided an immediate clash with Congress by delaying for a month the scheduled $1-per-bbl. increase in the tariff on imported oil. In February the President imposed the first $1-per-bbl. tariff and planned to raise it by another $2-$1 in March, another $1 in April.

Well, there is a brawl in Brannigan, but it takes place in a humble pub, is poorly motivated and feebly staged.

...slowed down considerably. He's reached the stage in life that Erik Erikson has termed "the eighth crisis in the life cycle--the crisis of ego integrity." Its basic clash is between despair. "the feeling that time is too short," and the "acceptance of one's one and only life cycle as something that had to be and that by necessity, permitted of no substitutions."

Celebration combines all the elements that should produce readability and substance in fiction. Sam Lumen's secret diary is told in the form of mixed memories, snatches of dreams and unsentimental musing about old age. But the clash of ideas, between old and new radicals, for instance, never reaches higher than Lumen's easy parries of nihilistic rhetoric. Above all, Sam Lumen's eminence is never convincing...
