...result must be among the most imposing "homemade" sculpture produced by a young American since the early '60s, when Di Suvero was making his big constructions of railway ties, dock piles, chains and tires. Instead of effacing their weight, Buchman's sculptures proclaim it: heaviness, the state of being dug from and bound to the earth, is part of their meaning. The stone is not carved.

With those plans in hand, Hughes' men sought out builders. They engaged the respected Los Angeles-based firm of Global Marine Inc. to supervise the construction of the ship and chose the Sun Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. to construct the ship, which was to be christened the Glomar Explorer.

Readers who are dying to know the number of dock strikes in 1962, or finger an organization chart of the Mafia hierarchy, or check back on the minutes of Vatican II will not find The Facts here. To read Sheed is, rather, to invite caricatures by David Levine to dance in your head...
