...proper long-term concern. The "happening" became a proliferating desire for instant sensation. "Participation" was extorted from the audience, often with arrogant ill grace. Obscene words were flung at playgoers to the point of shock fatigue, and nudity was flaunted. As for trashing, the classics were vandalized and literacy, craft, formal structure and verbal text violently abused...

That, argued Lavelle, constituted sufficient rationale for planned strikes in the name of protective...
...workhorse 707 jets, including spare parts and training for pilots and maintenance men. As befits a first-time deal, the terms were strictly cash and carry: the Chinese agreed to a 30% down payment and will pay the rest by the time they take delivery of the last craft in about 20 months. Most other foreign buyers of U.S. jet fleets expect long-term financing...
