...POWER, one finds a revealing analytic perspective on some of the dynamics of that barbarism. Here the fusion of the personal and the political and the creative application of structural analogy would bring Karl Marx himself to orgasm. From Mary Boykin Ches nut, a nineteenth century wife of a southern slaveholder...
...again in a style that should be commerically successful and musically novel; a style that can be experienced to the fullest by taking the core of the pre-Barleycorn style and fusing it with the best of what followed. When the Eagle Flies is an impressive result of that fusion and a welcome emergence from its two year abeyance...

Fischer's unstable personality, a fusion of Garbo and Barnum, is examined in all its two dimensions. The aging Wunderkind remains a prodigy, perhaps the most powerful grand master the world has ever witnessed. But from the opening gambit it is obvious that the author's affections are with Boris Spassky...

Lately scientists have been turning to a more efficient tool for creating fusion: the laser. By heating a tiny pellet of deuterium or tritium with a powerful pulse of laser light, they cause the explosive evaporation of the pellet's surface. As the material sprays off, the rest of the pellet implodes. The hydrogen nuclei are thus forced together. As early as 1968, a team of Soviet researchers under Physicist Nikolai Basov, a Nobel laureate, reported that they had used lasers to ignite a brief but clearly detectable fusion reaction. Since then, their experiments have been repeated-and improved...
