...convey no clear impression of what A. & P. is up to, the corporate story behind them is one of change and promise. Hamstrung for years by an inbred corporate structure, the company had been sliding long before ill-fated WHO. Its share of national food sales has dropped from 8.5% in 1965 to 5.8% now, which means that A. & P. has yielded its No. 1 sales position to California-based Safeway.

Lichtenstein went off on an entirely different tangent in his attempts to convey the wavy fluidity, "the absolute indeterminate essence" of the sun, sky and ocean.

...article, and he takes on an unusual, ghostly Monopoly-playing persona in Atlantic City. The removal helps, because it gets rid of the chummy, comfortable tone that dominates the rest of the book. McPhee's writing works best when he is confronting the unfamiliar and making an effort to convey it, not when he's recounting things that only reinforce his own view of the world...
