...product of that unusual pattern is this winter's wild weather. According to Namias, the jet stream has been picking up Pacific storms and guiding them across the U.S., "pepping up" each one as it crosses the country. The resulting heavy snowfalls that have accumulated on the ground in Eastern states further refrigerate Arctic air as it moves down from Canada. The snow covering also contributes to the dramatic difference between land and water temperatures, which in turn stimulates more storms along the East Coast-including the nor'easters that have been battering oil tankers. All the while...
Pretty terrible? No, just terribly misleading. Actually, the growth picture is bright. Although the overall figures do not reflect the fact, the U.S. economy was in a true slump only in September and October. There was a strong rebound in the gross national product in November and December, led by an upsurge in spending by individual consumers. The fourth-quarter G.N.P. would have appeared much healthier except for a statistical accident. The jump in consumer buying was not matched right away by more spending by businessmen because they were still selling goods they had on the shelf...
...more. Up through the closing chapter which traces "the shape of the seventies," not a single important event in the history of rock has been overlooked or left out.

Pepper' album was released"; or when Robert Christgau compares Chuck Berry...
John Whitney exploits the wizardry of computer graphics in Arabesque to create an elegant essay in formal design. To the insistent rhythms of an electronic sitar, Whitney creates an Oriental kaleidoscope of pulsating colors and lines. Roll'em Lola, a product of Southern California's Department of Film Graphics is a fast-paced car chase through a liquified Peter Max landscape that keeps changing into the sinuous humps and valleys of an Ingres odalisque. And Will Vinton simply uses animated clay to tell a sly parable of nature's revenge on three musicians who "groove too high" on their electric...
...appears that Mr. Schorr will go to great lengths to condemn anyone but the self-admitted and convicted murderer. Indeed, "all of American society must accept the blame for the life he [Gilmore] has led"! I might point out that Gilmore's psychotic behavior is as much the product of an unfortunate childhood, including a father described by his own son as a distant parent given to violent periods of drunkenness, as it is the reaction of a recalcitrant individual whose psyche has broken loose from the restraints of civilized society...
