...above-ground method in which the shale is "distilled" in somewhat the same way that moonshiners extract alcohol from corn mash. After the shale is mined, the rock is crushed. Union Oil then moves shale chunks through a towering surface retort, where hot gases heat it to release the kerogen. Colony uses a different process: it cooks finely ground shale in giant drums by mixing the marl with superheated, marble-size ceramic balls that distribute the temperature evenly and vaporize the kerogen. The balls are then separated from the spent shale by a screen, reheated and used again...
...sure. But the stockholders of Citizens Utilities Co., of Stamford, Conn., certainly know Richard Rosenthal. They constitute a Rosenthal fan club. By the hundreds, they write him letters that can only be called adoring. The chairman-who at 64 is wiry, bouncy and still strawberry blond-collects the mash notes between burgundy leather covers, answers them all, and elaborates in philosophical, ego-massaging (his own and the shareholders') messages in annual and interim reports, which he writes himself. Very largely, he writes about capital...
...noncommercial stations. The show is the flagship program of National Public Radio, the aural counterpart of TV's Public Broadcasting Service. It is also the ear-throb of legions of listeners-2 million flip the dial to it at least one day a week, and some 150 send mash notes weekly...
...production suffers from severe weaknesses. Director Greg Farrell seems to find no distinction between projection and bellowing. Thus the tone of the entire play is too loud, like a minuet turned to disco level. There is also a strange mish-mash of modern and antique costuming that, despite its cuteness, is distracting. And though designer Tamar Zimmerman constructed an adequately elegant sitting-room for the only set, her lighting often darkens half the stage, shadowing actors at key moments...
...popular with the masses as well. Jack does his work at the right place and in the right time, too, Victorian England--perfect. When Holmes meets Jack the Ripper, the temptation to indulge in gruesome special effects overwhelms the directors. No matter that the story line, a mish-mash of all the Jack the Ripper identity theories, is so complex and capricious as to make Conan Doyle's brand of deliberate and subtle terror impossible: Clark simply adds a sountrack of weird music and loud irregular heartbeats and heavy breathing and counts on these noises to create an atmosphere...
