...have this new thing, these electric sounds, it's a question of how can you use them in such a way that they're music rather than racket? Because the point is fine. I've been using the feedback stuff instead of playing lines or for producing a layer of sound which is the thing that happens most naturally. I've been using it by like striking a string and bringing up my volume knob so that there is no attack on the beginning of the note. The note just starts to come out of the air. . . . I've already...
...other hand, countering revolution head-on has stimulated equal amounts of Establishment enterprise. Pinkerton's, the venerable private constabulary that hunted down Butch Cassidy and was McClellan's private OSS in the Civil War, is marketing 'the new Pinkerton Bomb Blanket, a four-by-four 18-layer core of high-tensile ballistic nylon covered by fire-retardant Herculite to smother incendiary bombs...

It might pollute the upper air, even cause skin cancer by hampering the formation of the ozone layer that filters out ultraviolet sunlight, create intolerable noise at airports and monstrous, destructive sonic booms while it was airborne. Finally, they argued, it would take millions of dollars that could be better spent. The day before the vote last Thursday, the lobbyists were still at work, pressing their case...

After sampling the air three times a day during the past two summers, Curby and his associates at Sias Laboratories in Brookline, Mass., discovered that auto exhaust and industrial fumes create a new atmospheric phenomenon-a layer of "dead sky" composed of tiny, concentrated particles. Unmoved by either wind or rain, the ever thickening mass of filth hovers over Boston-and presumably other cities. The stagnant cloud has a faint silver lining: while making Boston's rain heavier, it will divert major storms from the city...
