...even the hungriest reader might find the most sympathetic character a half-breed named Buffalo Dung, who deeply dislikes David and aims an arrow at his digestive juices. Unhappily, Buffalo Dung misses, and the epic staggers to its end like a strayed moose caught in an Armour's assembly line. By then, for those who wonder Quo Vardis Fisher?, heap big David and contented new Squaw Sunday are headed West, perhaps to Hollywood...
...long since withdrawn from the gas business, reported a 12% increase in domestic electric power consumption last year in the 2,319 small communities (none over 150,000 population) in its market area. But AGE's hungriest customers are the power-consuming plants that have been lured into the area by plentiful, low price power, e.g., the Atomic Energy Commission's huge Portsmouth, Ohio, project whose round-the-clock 1,800,000 kw. appetite is met by AGE (38%) and 14 other utilities that combined to form the $400 million Ohio Valley Electric Corp...

The Hercules Cycle & Motor Co., one of the Big Three of Britain's thriving bicycle industry, was adding a new assembly line to feed the hungry export demand for British bikes. The hungriest customer is the U.S. Before the war, Britain shipped only 4,000 bikes a year to the U.S. This year imports rose to 110,000 during the first four months (usually the slow season). This was too much success for U.S. bikemakers, who demanded a boost in the tariff...
