...Walk has very little to do with plot or motivation. She's distraught, she walks; he's calm, he walks; she's placid, suicidal, elated or enraged, she walks. The Walk has nothing to do with getting anywhere-no picnic, party or supermarket is ever set out for, much less reached (in fact, when achieving a destination is of any importance, everyone slips into the nearest sports car or on any available elevator, never attempts to make it on foot...
...Sheep Stealing." Part of Pentecostal's appeal-particularly to migrants-is this total, emotional participation. One Puerto Rican described the U.S. Catholic Church he rejected as "like a supermarket-cold and formal." Says Presbyterian Rafael Martinez of Chicago's interdenominational Casa Central: "When you walk into a Pentecostal service, you are likely to be asked, no matter who you are, your name, where you are from, and 'Brother, do you have a word...

...that by 1970 throw-away bottles and cans will each get about 10% of the soft-drink business. How the public feels about bottles v. cans is hard to tell-obscured by the contradictory market surveys rolled out by the steelmakers and glassmakers. Loudest in favor of cans are supermarket operators, who find them easier to stack and are glad to be rid of the bother of taking back "empties." Small soft-drink bottlers, in general, prefer reusable glass-partly because they make less profit on canned drinks, and partly because they fear that the lower shipping costs of cans...
