Clearly this social flux consisted more of motion than of movement. The women's liberation movement may turn out to be profoundly epochal, but neither it nor any other trend gripped or provoked the nation as did, say, the now quiescent civil rights crusade.

...problem is that there's no real Hall and Oates sound. Not many groups can switch from a country, acoustic sound on an album like Past Times Behind to the futuristic, electronic rock of Bigger than the Both of Us.

...breaker (for splitting the glass), a grozier (to grind off errors), copper foil or lead (to hold the pieces together), a lathekin (a wooden tool) to flatten the foil on the glass, a soldering iron, a lubricant (usually kerosene) to make the cutter run smoothly on the glass, a flux (a solution to make the solder adhere to the foil or lead). New techniques, such as sandblasting, silk-screen painting, laminating and the use of epoxy resins, enable artists to achieve subtle tactile and visual effects. Even so, stained glass demands infinite patience; a single lamp shade may be composed...
