...SHAPE ME (ACTA). It took The American Breed five years to achieve success and the question is: Why did it take so long? They are a pleasant, easygoing group with their feet firmly planted on solid rock and enough jazz, blues and soul overtones to make the insistent Green Light, the confidential Bend Me, Shape Me, and the soul of Something You've Got and the slow rock sounds of Mind-rocker interesting, even hummable...
...processes and organisms that form the rhythmic cycles and food chains in which one part of the living environment feeds on another. The biosphere is no immutable feature of the earth. Roughly 400 million years ago, terrestrial life consisted of some primitive organisms that consumed oxygen as fast as green plants manufactured it. Only by some primeval accident were the greedy organisms buried in sedimentary rock (as the source of crude oil, for example), thus permitting the atmosphere to become enriched to a life-sustaining mix of 20% oxygen, plus nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide and water vapor. With miraculous precision...
...money was three days of stern classroom lectures, six exhausting days of golf, and a better than 80% probability that he would flunk the course.

We decide on a rope and pulley system, between a tree and the Low windows, but there is some question about how to get the line up to the people in Low without the jocks grabbing it. When...
...open out and the cops simply pull the stuff out. They have to cut through ropes and hoses and it takes them fifteen minutes before they can come through. All the while they're not more than 30 feet from me, but all I can do is watch their green-helmeted heads working. I shine a light in their eyes but Tom tells me not to and he's head of the defense committee so I stop...
