...silly after all. Cale orders his songs in a natural pacing of theme and mood, leading up to the almost obligatory fast brawling rock resolution in the last cut. But in Violence the eclecticism is more pervasive than in Sgt. Pepper. Each song manages to fuse an intricate variety of styles and instruments into conventional but slightly twisted forms, "Cleo," for example, manages to sound like a peculiarly profound perversion of the Archies, Cale also establishes the complexity of his sinister-yet-tranquil theme of resignation and acceptance through the juxtaposition of seemingly inappropriate artistic elements.

To fuse them into a single unit would be all but impossible. The closest approach, the 1958 amalgamation of Egypt and Syria into the United Arab Republic, lasted only three years before the Syrians seceded, complaining of Egyptian domination.

The guerrilla had no intention of smoking. Instead, while the giant Clipper was still 100 feet off the ground, he lit the fuse to his explosives. As the fuse began to burn, the hijackers told the passengers: "You have eight minutes." But Captain Priddy, captive in his cockpit, knew none of this. Landing in early-morning blackness at an unfamiliar airport, he might have elected to abort the approach and go around...
