...work. The canvas is a large rectangle, slightly higher than it is wide. In its center is an area of rich purple, built up from layers of sprayed acrylic. Where the surface is thin, the painting opens out around the separate flecks of paint; where the surface is thick, it fuses into a shiny surface priced by bubbles. Toward the edges, the color field lightens and meets a series of linear strokes of color that bound and direct it. On the right the general tone of the painting grows green; there the bordering strokes are green on white...

This is especially important in cities with strict air-quality laws at a time when other clean fuels (natural gas and oil with low sulfur content) are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. Best of all, the thick coal seams are close to the land's surface and can be easily reached by ponderous machines that peel back the prairie and gouge out the underlying coal...
Doug Shoen's review of pizzas in the Square was rather biased, and I feel that the other side of the pizza must be presented.

"It had been sitting on the freezing runway all night," Shaw recalls. "The temperature inside was about 20 below, and there were thick icicles inside the door. Finally a crewman hauled aboard a hose from the engine-warmup truck and began blasting hot air straight into the cabin. It was rough, but it worked-a bit like Siberia itself." Our story was written by Contributing Editor Marguerite Johnson, who in 1970 saw the region...
