Though the ministers often cut wide swaths in the nightclubs of the various world capitals in which they meet, the full-time secretariat bureaucrats seldom mix with Vienna's society. Its officers seem to shun publicity, realizing that their cause evokes little popular sympathy outside the oil-producing countries...
...guitar with the piano (both electric and conventional) figuring prominently. In addition, Winwood's experimentation with mellotron and synthesizer is highly successful. The tasteful string arrangement simulated by the mellotron, complements the strong rhythm section quite well, joined by a subtle wah-wah guitar way down in the mix.

They use a solvent, trichloroethylene, which appears to be harmless in normal use; but Dr. Richard D. Stewart and colleagues at the Medical College of Wisconsin have found that it does not mix with alcohol. After working for about three weeks with TCE, a man who stops at the corner saloon for a few beers or a couple of boilermakers develops vivid red blotches on the face. This degreaser's flush is so unsightly and persistent that men who wish to be rid of it have a hard choice: quit drinking or quit...
