Actually, the two issues that have appeared so far do not raise more than a moderate yelp. It has all been said before in McLuhan's earlier books. Once again, the McLuhan message is that the new "software" environment-radio, TV, phones, computers-has replaced the old "hardware" environment of books and rules and roads and railways. In the process, people have become "tribalized" and thrust together into new worldwide intimacy. This intimacy is fraught with violence because people are unused...
...unmoving as it records the tender anguish of love for what one is about to lose. Berenger's question, "Why was I born if it wasn't forever?" is a lacerated cry from the heart. Sadly, the bumbling hand of the APA reduces it to an infantile yelp of self-pity...

Increasing Arab disunity and Egypt's heavy reliance on American foodstuffs put a damper on indignation-and so did the nimble manner in which Washington handled the revelation. By sending 100 tanks to Jordan last fall and then teaming with the British...
