...With New Sensations, Reed has abandoned his insecurities and turned away from the dark forces of the outside world. Instead, he is content to rest, for the entire album, in his Rooftop Garden. At its best, this attitude gives the album a certain offhand charm and casual sweetness. At its worst, Reed's new-found complacency segues into a timid syrupiness about the world that caters...
...Lunching with Sukie, Van Home feels "a surge of possessive pride in her beauty, her vital spirit. His. His toy." He runs them through some bizarre and degrading sexual hoops, but the playthings adore "our dear Darryl. Our leader. Our redeemer from Eastwick ennui." His ample house gives their new-found senses of identity room to burgeon: "In Van Home's realm they left their children behind and became children themselves." This is where the action is, Sukie muses, "not here in town, where bitter water lapped the pilings and placed a shudder of reflected light upon the haggard...
...balance of epic vistas and exquisite detail, Ansel Adams' photographs celebrated an ideal vision of nature and the American West. That black-and-white vision was of a landscape unsullied by neon and Day-Glo plastic, a majestic continent that still seemed for all the world like a new-found land.

The contra commander had long refused, publicly at least, to accept American "conditions" for aid.

Pastora insists that he made no deals with the "gringos" and that the funds for the equipment come from private donors in Miami...
...new-found finesse, the bikers' club did not abandon tradition, notably gang warfare. The 1977 murders that led to five convictions were one round of a raging dispute with a rival biker gang, the Mongols. Eaton and four other Angels ambushed two Mongol bikers on a San Diego freeway and machine-gunned them down. At the slain Mongols' funeral, a bouquet of red-and-white carnations (the Angel colors) and a dynamite-loaded Rambler were dropped off. The car exploded, injuring three mourners. The Mongols retaliated by gunning down Hell's Angel "Godfather" Raymond Piltz...
