...wires, a shuffling of wood and sand, and maybe, just maybe, the sound of something human. A woman coos in a muted voice, as if she were speaking through bed sheets. A man wails deep; his anguish, supposedly lashed to a sexual moment, is only the synthetic spawn of the recording studio--artificial, abstract. A chorus of women chant undecipherable orisons to some street-wise goddess of love. Their voices are synchronized to a single, thin line; you can't tell if there are three, ten, or thirty women singing...
...Hougan says, with 385 potential military conflicts that may come up by 1990, 145 of them involving the United States, and one, by god, involving the Army versus the American citizenry. We are almost assured of running out of oil by the year 2000, a crisis that will spawn countless other crises and lead to the collapse of American society.

That order led to school boycotts by whites, unruly demonstrations, occasional bloodshed and massive use of police. At first glance, it appears likely that Garrity's Phase Two scheme will spawn more of the same. The plan calls for the busing of approximately 21,000 students, 3,000 more than in Phase One. In addition, Garrity has ordered that 12,000 of those to be bused be children in Grades 1 through 5; only 3,000 students in those grades were...
