...guilty of a personal bias himself. Entropy is clearly pitched at the industrialized Northeast and Trilateral Commission types. Rifkin says frugality no longer exists in our "high-entropy society"; he contends that leisure has o verrun the work ethic; and in our mechanical, materialist value system, we have forsaken the pursuit of spiritual consciousness...
...omni-virginal You and vestal She. Despite the synicism with which he regards himself, the hold-out is even in Browne, who incoming through artistic puberty has wised up to the ironies and fallacies implicit in holding out, yet held onto the faith he may pretend to have forsaken. He emerges here, alongside the hold-out he's likely to keep pursuing, as a somewhat jaded ingenue...

Lodge beat out Friedberg, coming up with the $1.75 million to purchase the 40-year lease, and he claims to have 150 nights booked for a season beginning in November 1980. But $3.5 million worth of expansion and renovations lie ahead, and there may be a scramble...
