Still more important is the growing triumph of the minimal outlook. As artists are increasingly dedicated to the belief that "less is more," they are in stinctively drawn to those raw materials that least impede the eye.

...core of the problem is a disastrous balance of trade: the poor countries are getting lower and lower prices for the raw materials they sell to the industrial powers, while the developed nations are steadily increasing the prices of the manufactured goods they export...
Then came Kramer, Judgment at Nuremberg, still the most polished of his creations, cast Tracy as a New England judge set adrift in the land of war criminals and called on to apply his raw honesty to the ambiguities of complicit guilt and collective responsibility.

China is rich in the raw materials of the nuclear age, even used to export uranium ore to Russia before the ideological split in 1960. Its gaseous-diffusion plant at Lanchow is estimated to turn out enough U-235 to build some 20 bombs a year, and Peking now has as many as 80 bombs of various kinds in various stages of development. That rate will likely soar sharply...
