...chosen a man whose company, Union Oil Co. of California, stands foursquare against such a shift. In 1970 the firm spent $20,000 to help defeat a California proposition that would have switched some gasoline-tax money to public transportation. Union Oil was also responsible for the notorious oil spill that blighted the beaches of Santa Barbara. Brinegar, who is president of the gasoline division of the company, claims to be neutral on the matter. "I am not an oilman," he insists, "I am a professional manager.

And of course, the best images of all chart the characters' growth. Flower petals in a cut-glass cup spill over during Kristina's first housewifely drudgery. Kari Oscar, while his entire family (except for his own mother and father) packs and prepares to leave, pauses over a love-plaque he once gave his wife and hands it to her again...
