Ironies abounded. Holland was respected, even though lacking the attacking power of Striker Johan Cruyff, who, now aged 31 and rich beyond reason, refused to bother with this World Cup. Still, the Dutch team at first was clearly not the "clockwork orange" of the 1974 tournament (orange because of its uniforms and clockwork because everything it tried worked that way until the final against West Germany). It was a Dutch concept of "total football"-no stratagem at all but a blazing and relentless rush of soccer in which every team member played both attack and defense-that had dazzled...
...model could be the Sudan, which has the rich soil and abundant water to become the breadbasket for all Africa. In partnership with Khartoum, American growers, packers and technicians could teach Sudanese farmers, set up irrigation and distribution networks, and build processing plants. After some initial U.S. and local government subsidies or guarantees the ventures would pay for themselves through exports. Says Wyman: "Neither the developing countries nor we want the U.S. to feed the world. The economics of that are not as interesting as having the world feed itself...
...themes of everyday life. As Caravaggio painted his gamblers, gypsies and tavern scenes, so dozens of Japanese artists began to set down the details of street festivals and bathhouses on the largest "official" scale known to Japanese art -the byōbu, or folding screens, closely detailed and richly ornamented with gold leaf, which decorated the houses of the rich in Kyoto and Edo.

Sometimes, in fact, you can find someone like Adrien Rich there discussing her books with old friends. Of course, sometimes you can't too. And for really obscure stuff, there's this guy who sits in the Cafe Pamplona with an assortment of books...
...perhaps the prettiest on the album. Over a shimmering reggae-flavored guitar work, Jagger sings, "I'll never be your beast of burden," at the start of the song, gradually building up the energy and tensions through the chorus, "Am I hard enough, Am I rough enough, Am I rich enough?" until he sings at the end, "I don't need no beast of burden...all I want is for you to make love to me." Jagger doesn't want to be a pack horse for another, but more importantly, he doesn't want another to be a pack horse...
