Storey's method is that of the playwright: character and plot emerge mainly through dialogue, backed up by simple, controlled description. Blatant authorial intrusions are rare. Like his Victorian predecessors, Storey remains outside his characters, looking in; he avoids interior monologues, allo ing the feelings of his characters to surface in their words and actions. Colin is the focal point of the novel--Mr. and Mrs. Saville are always referred to as "his father" and "his mother" even when the antecedent is unspecified--but Storey refuses to lose himself in a single point of view, preferring the role...
...latest social history, Stephen Birmingham does for the black rich what he did for the Irish rich in Real Lace, the Jewish rich in Our Crowd, and the Wasp rich in The Right People.

"The people in the Brooklyn tenements and Florida condominiums look about them and see the devastation that development has caused in their area and they're determined...
...there, however, it is by no means certain that the U.S. can get it out at an acceptable cost-economic or environmental. A court injunction has restrained federal leasing of drilling sites in the Baltimore Canyon until a fuller ecological study is completed, and Secretary of the Interior Cecil Andrus is holding off on other leases. Meanwhile, the blowout on the Phillips Petroleum rig in Norway's Ekofisk field in the North Sea (see ENVIRONMENT) is certain to buttress environmentalists' arguments about the dangers of offshore drilling...
