...overuse it--in the Southern Renaissance, an intellectual outburst after World War I that includes William Faulkner, Allen Tate, Thomas Wolfe, Lillian Smith, W.J. Cash, C. Vann Woodward, and Robert Penn Warren. King observes that these three historical stages leading up to the Southern Renaissance--repitition, recollection, reassimilation--parallel exactly the process of psychoanalysis. The writer and historians of this era, climaxing in Woodward, struggled to reassess the Southern burden, the Gone With the Wind fantasy of hoopskirts and grace, the centerpiece of the Southern family romance. In a few cases--Woodward is one--King compliments these intellectuals for accomplishing...
...wood. While the coarse raw materials seem out of place on smooth, polished gallery floors, the simple geometric forms work well in architectural frameworks. In Long's works, nature does not rebel against enclosure; rather, all is calm and ordered. Circles are centered in rooms, and lines of stones parallel the walls. The indoor works have none of the geographic specificity of the outdoor pieces; they can work in any number of interiors. In a rare case, an exhibition at the British Pavilion in 1977, Long created a piece unique to the museum space, a line of stones that travelled...

You say, yes, I know all about the president, he's not the best...
Arguing that "to understand today's colliding waves of change we must be able to identify clearly the parallel structures of all industrial nations," Toffler fills the first 140 pages of his book with an explanation of the Second Wave, born of the Industrial Revolution. The subtitles that break up the copy every page or so yield the basic scheme, not to mention mentality, of Toffler's discussion. "The Technicians of Power." "Mechano-Mania." "The Streamlined Family." "The Paper Blizzard." "The Progress Principle." Under industrialism, he argues, life is as nasty, brutish and short as it ever...
