RADICALS view American society as being dominated by a relatively small group of people--an elite, more or less tightly co-ordinated, that benefits considerably from the present system. Under this upper crust lies a vast semi-oppressed white lumpenproletariat and a clearly oppressed black proletariat...
Occasionally steam emerges through fissures in the ground called fumaroles (from the Latin word fumariolum; meaning smokehole), and the simplest way to prospect for this geothermal energy is to look for such vaporous leaks in the earth's crust. But in areas where the energy remains trapped underground, geologists must use more sophisticated techniques. One method employs infra-red aerial photography. Since the infra-red film is sensitive to heat, geothermal areas are likely to show up lighter in the picture. Another method measures the earth's electrical conductivity, which increases with the presence of subsurface hot water...
...Saffron tucked away in a pile of hay. Jane's explanation: "It was very warm in the hay." Harlech stuck by her. "Jane knows what she's doing," he told reporters. "She's no child." And besides, Harlech himself is not always the model of upper-crust orthodoxy. He recently snowed up at Harvard for an advisory committee meeting of the Kennedy Institute of Politics-which Jackie also attended-wearing a lilac shirt and purple...
Under Campione's leadership, the hotel chain increased its revenues by one-third, to $17.3 million, between 1961 and 1967. While new plans call for catering to the drip-dry set, CIGA will continue to coddle the upper crust. The rare cathedral glass of Venice's Danieli, which was built in the 15th century, will still be repaired by the only living artisan with the necessary know-how. Faithful customers, who range from Europe's nobility to Actor Peter Sellers, will still receive the same tender care they have learned to expect from CIGA employees. At Rome...
Instead, setting a life pattern, he drifted between such random diversions as studying Serbo-Croatian and founding a record company to preserve the music of early New Orleans jazzmen. Inevitably, as the son of the late syndicated columnist Heywood Broun, he became a sportswriter "with a crust of adjectives as thick as barnacles on a pearling lugger."* Then, at 30, bored with the "non-Aristotelian inevitability of August doubleheaders," he decided to take a fling at acting. "I brought to the stage," he recalls, "a keen sense of Thackeray, Dickens and Trollope-and none of Stanislavski...
