...which was started six years before to protest the escalation in Vietnam. The leadership--concerned that the war was not over but sharing the feeling that its end was linked to the end of other government abuses--was now anxious to broaden its concerns to domestic shortcomings, and to develop a more systematic critique of American foreign policy. They found themselves caught in the middle, between those who felt that ending the war should retain the highest priority and those who felt, in fact, that an end to the war would make it even more difficult to solve other social...
Beyond these specific cases, the Pay Board faces two huge questions: Should it specify numerical guidelines for future wage raises, or let its rules develop out of case-by-case verdicts on individual contracts? And what should it do about second-year and third-year increases written into contracts signed before the freeze...
Despite their popularity, double knits have drawbacks. Being less tightly bound than top-quality woven cloth, double knits develop snags more easily. Cutting them is a problem; a garment is sometimes larger or smaller than its stated size.

Moreover, because of the limitations...
Still, the time of the turbines has already begun. General Motors and Volkswagen have both asked Williams to develop experimental turbine engines for their cars. Chrysler, which tested and gave up on a turbine engine in the mid-1960s, will send an improved version to the EPA for testing next month.

Some Chrysler engineers are so enthusiastic that they say there is not even a close second...

It does not develop the potentialities it introduces and misses the brutal impact it could have had if the plot and characters were more fully developed. Moreover, the long soliloquies which are made to carry most of the burden reveal little about the characters and at least one, Violet's, is totally superfluous. The play is hard to digest, but it does leave one with enough of its strange, bittersweet...
