...A.M.A. pitched its camp in the fair grounds just outside town. The hoodlums, their waists girdled by metal chains and their leather jackets emblazoned with gang names-Vampires, Huns, Tartars-parked their cycles on Main Street and tossed their bedrolls beside Angels Camp's bubbling trout stream. Then they took over the community. They bought all the beer in town (100 cases), buzzed over to neighboring Altaville for more, and for wine. They guzzled fast, tossed empty cans and bottles into gutters. Residents soon found drunks stretched in their doorways. A group trailed a town girl; while one yelled...
...might have guessed, very little was to become of it. The Trojans called for 20 principal singers, two choruses, ten different sets, hunters on horseback, ships moving out of a harbor, naiads swimming in "a natural basin," a stream that becomes "a roaring waterfall" and, of course, a large wooden horse. With the creaky stage equipment of the 19th century, the giant workrivaling Wagner's marathons in sizecould not be performed in much less than seven hours. Berlioz himself heard it only in truncated form, and since his death it has never been given...
...Million Bet. Union strip-mines the oil-bearing rock in high butte country, then transports it by conveyor belt to the new retort.

Perhaps the only attempt at literary imagination had to do with the Radcliffe girl. It was apparently a parody of stream-of-consciousness writing and involved the endless repetition of the phrase "faces in the crowd...
...outside Poland are welcome (Americans are plied with questions about the speed of U.S. cars and the wonders of television). Wyszynski sees everyone who wants to see him, except reporters. He keeps in touch with the outside world mostly by means of a single radio and through a steady stream of clergy, nuns, officials and plain citizens in his waiting rooms. There has been no evidence of any direct contact with Gomulka; Education Minister Wladyslaw Bienkowski is usually mentioned as the go-between. Two members of the Polish hierarchy closest to him-they accompanied him to Rome-are Bishop Zygmut...
