...jaws, Kubrick's 2001 portentousness, and-rather mystifyingly--a few feline hijinks from That Darn Cat. But why look for sources; the sources are every shitty horror flick ever made.

...fundamental difficulty is that the U.S. cannot import enough oil right now to fill its needs. Imports are running about 8 million bbl. a day?roughly half of U.S. consumption, up 3% just since late April ?but oilmen estimate that they need an other 500,000 to 1 million to assure an even flow of all products through their refineries.

From the most elaborate Gothic structures to the smallest Christmas trees, individuals constantly attempt to fill in blank spaces and correct eccentricities. Some of the book's conclusions are debatable: "There are no laws imposing the same aim on any artist working at a given time ..." The Renaissance of Christian art would seem to refute that thesis; the poverty and angularity of urban environments surely...
