...sometimes seems as if American society is close to being wrecked, and if it is unclear whether the cause is an advance or a retreat in civilization, one must step back for a better view. Dissent and protest, black bitterness and white resentment, ghetto and suburb, student riot and police reprisal must be seen from a certain distance if they are not to become hopelessly blurred. America's conflicts are the products of old attitudes in U.S. history as well as new forces in 20th century society. To understand them at all, Americans must look backward as well...
...mill, an aluminum plant and what will eventually be one of the world's largest hydroelectric projects on its side of the boundary. The Venezuelans particularly covet the bauxite and manganese in the disputed area, and last year even built a military base on Guyanese territory as a step toward enforcing the claim...
...into the alleys. Inside the Centennial Ballroom, a babel of people in long white Moslem robes and colored bubus (tribal gowns) mingled with those in formal tie and tails wearing rows of medals.

Says Anthropologist Robin Fox of Rutgers, whose specialty is the sexual conduct of man the animal: "We are only beginning to understand the implications of extending to behavior the same kind of analysis...
...lowest possible cost, yet still be "a complete automobile." Italians dubbed it the "Mickey Mouse," and it proved to be for them what Ford's Tin Lizzie had been to Americans after World War I. At a price of less than $1,000, the car was an easy step up from the motor scooter; four passengers could squeeze into it-if they inhaled and exhaled in sync. The 500 is still Fiat's bestseller; it and a slightly larger version account for almost half of the cars sold in Italy over the past decade...
