...lack of rhythm also detracts from and sometimes interferes with an objective reading of the book. Her lines don't flow smoothly and lump together like coagulated oatmeal. "Five seagulls, circumflex accents, drift by." She displays a penchant for using formalistic inversions which add nothing but stiffness to the line: "that five-petaled sun/folds all its fruited segments out..." Spivack tends to generalize about the whole human race, instead of speaking from her own personal experience and leaving it at that...

That is, he did not want another intellectual who would give him an argument; he got plenty of that from the academicians who worked for him.

...greatest collection of such pre-Hispanic gold as survived the ravages of conquistador and tomb robber belongs to Bogotá's Museo del Oro. In an effort to stem the flow of these exquisitely wrought masks, figurines, pectorals and pins out of Colombia and into foreign collections, the museum-underwritten by the national Banco de la República-has preserved some 20,000 pieces, dating from the end of the 1st millennium onward, since it began collecting 35 years ago.

Whatever the exact process, a critical mass was reached...

Indeed the airline seems to have been hit by nearly every conceivable disaster, from a seemingly unstoppable flow of red ink to a string of air crashes. Financially, the biggest calamity has been the soaring price of jet fuel brought on by the Arab oil offensive. Prices rose so high during the last quarter of 1973 that what had been expected to be Pan Am's first profitable year since 1969 turned into another...
