...limiting oneself to those segments of each class that are directly linked to the processes of economic production, i.e., to those groups whose economic interests completely encompass the inner-most, primary level of the working of the American economy. Thus the crucial sub-classes to focus on are the Rich--all senior business executives, the Technostructure-Rich--junior business executives, engineers, technicians and scientists in the big corporations, and the Workers--all the people who work in factories (that's what they still are no matter how civilized the conditions) producing consumer goods and war material, all construction workers...
...working out themes that have been previously revealed and so an album making up in style for what it lacks in content. One is, of course, grateful for everything the Beatles do. These 30 songs, complete with your basic piquant photographs in a ridiculously overpriced package, are a rich pleasure; but still one misses the sense of discovery, the excitement of hearing something that lingers on half-understood in the senses, the irritating stimulating grain of dust that turns into a pearl.

Soviet ships now ply the Indian Ocean, and early this year nosed into the Persian Gulf on courtesy visits. With such forces...
More of everything-particularly 'big, rich, fat, square Christmas books-seems to be the order of the season. Many are bought at the Frankfurt Book Fair from enterprising European publishers and imported wholesale. Several contain perfunctory yet prolix texts by scholars who take the money but regard the work as intellectual slumming; and the pictures are stuck in at random like plums in a Christmas pudding. Each year, though, a few more big books show encouraging signs of aim and editing. Still others are notable for size, subject matter, outrageous pricing and, occasionally, sheer beauty. Among the selections listed...
