Americans want more gasoline to turn the wheels of their 83 million cars, more kerosene to thrust their jet fleets faster, more coal to fire the boilers of industry, more natural gas to heat their homes in winter, more electricity to cool them in summer. The U.S. now burns up the equivalent of 1.9 billion tons of fossil fuel every year (30% of the world's consumption) but produces only 1.7 billion tons-and the gap is widening.

Instead, Giap once more drove on An Loc, the shell-torn rubber town near the Cambodian border, 60 miles north of Saigon. As usual, Giap...
...gained by means of perspective and which Cubism achieved through its multiplicity of facets. The forms of Ribbon with Squares, No. 731, 1944, simply hover in an illimitable field of color, whose depth cannot be guessed; they evoke what Kandinsky called "floating sensations," whose only concern is with thrust and counterthrust, disembodied, in free fall...
