...when the knights somehow seem monstrous, killers risen out of a black id, perpetrators of My Lai, then the entire chivalric logic collapses, and masculinity itself becomes a horror--all rage and aggression and reptilian brain. Viet Nam changed American notions about the virtues of masculinity and femininity. In the '60s, during the great violence of the war, masculine power came to be subtly discredited in many circles as oafish and destructive. The heritage of the Enlightenment (the scientific method, progress, that dreamy Jeffersonian clarity of mind that told us all problems could be solved) now seemed drawn into...
Even as American refineries have been closing, imports of petroleum products into the U.S. have been steadily increasing. The Energy Information Administration, a federal clearinghouse for energy data, reports that imports, including fuel oil, finished gasoline and gasoline-blending components, have risen about 24% during the past four years.

Newspaper publishers Gannett and Knight-Ridder were up too, as was the stock of Chicago's Tribune Co. Australian Publisher Rupert Murdoch, whose properties include the New York Post and New York magazine, added even more zest to the media merger mania: he offered...
...capitals (Albany, N.Y., and Raleigh, N.C.) where its first two television stations were located, has reaped record earnings in each of its 30 years. True to form, 1984 revenues rose 23%, to $940 million, while profits of $143 million were up 24% over 1983. The company's stock has risen along with its fortunes, from $18 per share in 1974 to a peak of $174.50 last year, earning Capital Cities a reputation among investors as "the Cadillac of the industry...
