...chemical firms alone in their soul searching. As the world's industrial leader, the U.S. has 219 operating oil refineries, more than any other country. It is crisscrossed by 250,000 miles of oil pipelines and 1.3 million miles of natural gas conduits. Sometimes refineries and storage tanks are clumped together like rusting armadas of iron behemoths, belching smoke into the sky. Along the New Jersey Turnpike, near the towns of Linden and Carteret, many oil storage tanks are higher than a ten-story apartment building. Should a plane from nearby Newark International Airport crash into that complex...
Mazda Motor of Hiroshima, well known for the rotary engine that is the soul of its spirited RX-7 sports car, is joining Japan's automotive invasion of the U.S. Mazda announced last week that it would start producing cars in Michigan in 1987, bringing to four the number of Japanese automakers manufacturing in the U.S. Honda has a plant in Marysville, Ohio; Nissan has one in Smyrna, Tenn., and Toyota will begin producing cars this month in a venture with General Motors in Fremont, Calif. Mazda plans to construct a $450 million assembly plant near a Ford foundry...
...Stag includes not only sweetness and beauty but suffering and evil as well; the texture of daily life exaggerated in imagination.

Tophet cuts a deal with a young songwriter (Ted Wass), offering fame in exchange for his soul. Director Paul Bogart's muzzy little comedy appropriately pivots on the Burns-Burns confrontation when Lucifer and the Lord play poker in Caesars Palace to win the yuppie Faustus. Oh, God! You Devil has a shopping-mall message: Don't do drugs or dream of fame; go home, be ordinary...
Behind this austere facade, Ackroyd finds a tormented and divided soul. Eliot shied away from attention while courting it with Machiavellian skills. Ezra Pound, another American expatriate, aptly nicknamed him "Old Possum." Pound had tried and failed to take over literary London through energy and bravado; Eliot succeeded through diffidence and self-denigration. He invited sympathy; friends who knew he was overworked were startled to see him wearing a green face powder that accentuated his cadaverous pallor. Yet he repulsed those who tried to ease his burdens; several plans to raise money that would free Eliot of his bank duties...
