...shut save one, form which drifts the name Marx, hanging on the air as if it senses it is not wanted here. The voice rambles on in a steady, soothing monotone, indicating this must be the right room. Somewhere nearby, unseen, an F B I. agent or two must lurk Inside, books litter the office, covering the walls and scattered about the floor Stacks of folders stand four feet high on top of the desk, propped up against a bookshelf. Papers seen to crawl out of every available crack This tiny room has become the lonely beachhead of radical economics...
...against the overuse of salt. Says Dr. Henry Blackburn of the University of Minnesota Medical School: "Scientists have a social obligation to advocate cutting down on salt as a low-risk way of producing a more healthy population." Americans in general are becoming highly conscious of dangers that may lurk in their food. Saccharin, nitrates, sugar, cyclamates have all come under suspicion.

It is only a matter of time. Nobody gets out alive, yet few want to leave early. Irving's popularity is not hard to understand. His world is really the world according to nearly everyone...
Sometimes, rather surprisingly, it is there. In particular it seems to lurk in the Mirrors, a series of paintings Lichenstein completed between 1970 and 1972. With their silvery surfaces, reflection lines and bevels and breaks in the light, which manage to function equally as pattern and as illusion (the mirror, in art, being one of the arenas in which both can live side by side), these paintings possess a ravishing formal elegance...
