...major events of Lowell's life--his imprisonment for conscientious objection, his routine hospitalizations and separations from lovers, his feelings of doom in reaction to the deaths of T.S. Eliot, Randall Jarell, John Berryman, and other friends, his opposition to the Vietnam War--are interesting but tangential to Hamilton's defense of Lowell's place in modern poetry. In the end, questions such as insanity and its relationship to love and genius are left unanswered. Hamilton simply leaves us with a wealth of well-presented source material to use in thinking about these questions. It is an important gift...

But the New Right's leading light may be in more serious trouble than he realizes, not in the Senate but where the votes really count, back home in North Carolina.

Yergin claims that America is suffering from an "oil-glut psychology": oil seems plentiful, OPEC looks to be in shambles, and promises of alternative energy sources seem just one technological step away. With the minds of American consumers and industries on other things, Yergin's doom and gloom approach is not very welcome. However, the appearance of this book and the attendant publicity surrounding it will hopefully begin to change prevailing attitudes. In all, Global Insecurity is a much needed prescription for our energy complacency...
