Rawls' book becomes a hallucination of modern life's ills distorted by the horror of Fairview into a warning against casual, daily insensitivity. For we see how easy it is for people, and for the "system," to become desensitized, to leave places in life like Farview hidden and forgotten...
...other NOAA vans appear. All pull over for a hasty conference. A student with a two-way phone to the lab yells that the worst conditions are centered about 20 miles west of Enid (pop. 52,700). Moore spins his wheels, and the chase is on again. In Fairview, 30 miles west of Enid, several pickup trucks are parked along the road.

Still, Watson, a 50-year-old former San Francisco architect who joined Irvine as planning manager in 1960, admits that he feels "apprehensive" about the impending takeover. One danger is that a new owner may order a sudden speedup in Irvine's growth in order to increase its profits; that could expose the company to the same boom-and-bust cycle that bedevils other developers...
