...providing a spacious, three-tiered staircase flanked on both sides by formal plazas and a serried row of fountains set in reflecting pools. More controversial is his plan to replace Hunt's grand staircase inside with two escalators and a passageway in order to increase the flow of traffic to the rear galleries. "There will be a lot of screaming and yelling and nostalgia and recriminations," says Director Hoving, "but we need to get people back to those galleries. Go down to the porcelain galleries on the museum's lower level on any crowded...
...providing proper dramatic channels for the novel's ideas. But here again, Russell's Women in Love lacks the depth of the original. Take the sex scenes, for example, Sex for Lawrence is something of a double-edged sword. (Metaphorically speaking, one assumes.) At once, it frees man to flow with larger forces of nature and life, while at the same time condemning him to struggle over positions of subservience and dominance with other men. The novel's sexual encounters are the arena on which this complex of issues is unraveled. Russell, though, only shows us the physical side...
MOREOVER, the type of sewage plants that the Administration plans to construct is the type that fouls up the water with phosphates and nitrates. Meanwhile, the Administration, instead of fighting industrial polluters, gives them six months to prepare "plans" to lower pollution flow, even when one of the polluters, Jones and Laughlin Steel in Cleveland, continues to discharge cyanide, of all things, into the Cuyahoga River (which caught fire last spring). Yet the government refuses to raise the cost of polluting our rivers and streams...
...archipelago has been producing oil from land-based wells since 1893; last year the flow was 850,000 bbl. a day, compared to about 9,000,000 bbl. daily output in the U.S. The offshore rush began to heat up last year, when a combine of Atlantic Richfield and IIAPCO (a subsidiary of San Francisco-based Natomas Co.) made a find of potentially commercial size in the Java Sea. Soon after, Japex Indonesia Ltd., a Japanese government-controlled company, discovered oil in the Malacca Strait. Japex's results have yet to measure up to early expectations, but the Atlantic...
...point, Deliverance can bear comparison with both books. Ultimately, it fails where they succeed. Dickey's spare narrative-leisurely at the start, then frantic-rushes the reader forward like the accelerating flow of the river. Whether he is describing the soft but fond suburban world that the four men leave at home, or evoking the impact of the plunging water, his language has a descriptive power not often matched in contemporary American writing...
