...forms of American modernism were almost all based on prototypes offered by the School of Paris from Cézanne and Matisse onward -cubism, futurism, constructivism, surrealism, in fact nearly every successive European movement found its provincial resonance among New York artists. But then, in the early 1950s, the stream slackened and reversed its course. New York was the center, Paris the province. It was now the turn of the Americans-Rothko and de Kooning, Johns and Rauschenberg, the Pop artists in the '60s-to alarm and stimulate the French. Thus the puritan Yankee paying his awkward homages...
Prisoners resort to all sorts of stratagems to throw a dog off the trail. Some escapees have sprinkled pepper on their shoes or changed clothes -to no avail. Sloshing through a stream works, at least until the fugitive steps on dry ground and the dog is able to pick up the scent again. Surprisingly, a runaway's best defense is dry weather, which can often blend all local smells together, making them indistinguishable to a hound.

...water--consumers are adequately represented. Newspapers publicize these issues, consumer groups agitate over them, and concerned citizens write their congressmen about them. But on the regulations that escape public attention--regulations determining the width of crib slats, the amount of effluent to be dumped in an obscure rural stream, or the strength of side door reinforcements in automobiles--manufacturers always have a more deeply perceived--and more forcefully expressed--interest in presenting their viewpoint to bureaucrats than do consumers. A consumer may spend ten hours a week in his car, but for the President of General Motors, producing automobiles...
