...iron ore and great sources of hydroelectric power. Deep in the backlands on the Orinoco River, more than 200,000 people have already clustered in the government run, iron-and-steel community of Ciudad Guayana, where international businessmen come to swing deals, dine on fine French food and gaze upon spectacular waterfalls. Pérez aims to raise steel output from last year's 784,000 metric tons to 5 million tons by 1978, and to 15 million by 1985. If those hugely ambitious goals are met, Venezuela will have a multibillion-dollar export to fall back on when...
Within the text of the story itself, the use of innuendos help to provide a further Crimson "coloring" of the subject.

She remained all but immobile when her husband said that he would not subject his family to the rigors of a presidential campaign. Then her control began to give way at the edges, and she blinked...
Further turns in the pathways, further convolutions of the spiral. The people around you seem diminished in stature, their skin pale, their gaze distant. You stop a moment to watch as these college students eddy around you like so many ants in a hill. You are standing in front of the cabinet for Soc Sci 15 and casually pick up a text on behavioral psychology. Graphs of response rates and reinforcements and contingencies stare out at you, but your puzzlement is allayed by the almost tangible presence of laboratory walls enveloping you. A symphonic blend of pigeon cooing fills your...
