...ideas, where character and plot become subordinated. Jason and Medeia is just such a "conceptual system." It is a truly novel epic poem, "an absolute tissue of rules." But more than that, it is what Gass calls a metafiction, a compound of fictional forms, new built into old, with layer upon layer of meaning...
...Honda's machine-as well as in versions under development by other companies-a mixture of fuel that would ordinarily be too lean to ignite in the cylinder is coaxed into burning by the ignition of an adjoining layer of much richer fuel. To accomplish this stratification of fuel, Honda's engineers added a small combustion chamber, to accommodate the richer mixture, at the top of each cylinder (see diagram); the chamber contains the spark plug and is equipped with its own intake valve...

Because he insists on a thick layer of dough, Mr. Schoen requires a lot of cheese and a heavy tomato sauce on his pizzas so he can taste anything at all after munching through so much bread. Joe's thin dough base serves as a perfect vehicle for his fine cheese and his tomato sauce with...
