...turned out to be one Wan Pen Phen, a middle-aged Chinese with both Taiwanese and Thai papers. Police say Phen routed 4,500 Ibs. of opium monthly through the area. In July, the cops arrested Luu Phuc Ngu, a prominent Saigon hotel owner, his son Luu Se Hon, and Phen's No. 2 man, Am Nui.

Ecologist Barry Commoner, a vehement foe of mindless growth, considers Meadows' treatment of pollution "quite simplistic." It assumes that more growth inevitably means more pollution. Yet the alarming rise in pollution, says Commoner, has been caused not by growth per se but by changes in the composition of growth-for example, the postwar shifts from soaps to detergents.

In one se quence Rosemonde is shown at work, standing beside a machine that stuffs sausages inside skins with regular bursts of phallic efficiency. The image is funny and outrageous at first, but Tanner holds it longer to convey Rose monde's glazed boredom, then longer still, as if congratulating himself on his own cleverness...
