...SLOW NATIVES, by Thea Astley. An Australian family of intellectuals tests its illusions against a philistine society; told by a satirist who may be her country's best woman novelist since Christina Stead...

Altogether, Rosenthal has underwritten $20.6 million worth of new corporate stock and bond issues and by year...
...manipulation, both of which are in the air like smog, but in accordance with the world's possibilities, with what people can do, can make of these bodies so excellent for loving, exploring, and dying a more fitting death than the nuclear, the explosive, the incendiary, or the long slow death of the neutral man, who sells death, or lends it his secretary, or merely does not commit as much of himself to life as he might.
