...McLean, 26, seems to evoke them all in his new 8½-minute single American Pie. The song mixes the good sounds from 1960s jukeboxes with the bad news from 1960s headlines (notably Viet Nam) to produce the most surrealistic, impalpable pop lyrics since Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues...
...initial shock did cause numerous cliff falls and rock slides along Amchitka's shoreline. A flurry of barely noticeable tremors followed as the tormented earth adjusted itself around the 800-ft.-wide subterranean cavity created by the blast: 38 hours later, there was a last convulsive shudder as the cavity collapsed. But the danger of radioactive releases was apparently past. The radioactive material is virtually sealed in place by rock compacted by the pressure of the monster explosion...

Those once myriad visions of ideal societies have all but disappeared, or have been transmogrified into the demonic dreams of science-fiction.

The urge to envision an earthly paradise seems to have spent itself...

Since then, Montreal's subterranean system has spread as vigorously as the roots of a healthy young tree. It now extends through about 50 acres, linking offices, hotels, subways, railroad stations, theaters-all the places that keep downtown alive and zesty. Ponte sees two main reasons for the success. First, the walkways are carefully designed "not to make people feel like moles." Spacious, punctuated by open courtyards and lined with bright shops and good restaurants, the promenades are always full...
