...magazine is an ingenious conglomeration--from the the heavy stylization of Edgar de Bresson's "A Chapter From A Novel," a stylization which seems remarkably successful in its design to obscure the fact that he has nothing to say, to a condescending essay on the local literary scene by Lowell Edmunds, who apparently has no conspicuous desire to report accurately. And there is "A Preposition," by Kurt Blankmeyer, chiefly distinguished by its first sentence, 596 words long, and also by its incomprehensibility...

Recent Western visitors to the Peking area saw cotton blowing away unharvested while the local peasantry concentrated on rebuilding Peking's showy Tien An Men Square. The great campaign to produce steel and pig iron in homemade blast furnaces created even more widespread labor shortages. Factories producing textiles for export were obliged to cut out a shift in order to free workers to stoke the ubiquitous furnaces...
