Pernicious Pollution. Dramatic oil spills in coastal waters capture the public's concern by killing countless marine creatures and sea birds. But more pernicious is the long term effect of chronic pollution from tankers flushing their storage compartments at sea. That, along with other everyday mishaps, adds up to 284 million gallons of spilled oil every year-about ten times the amount that oozed from the Torrey Canyon, and enough to coat a beach 20 ft. wide with a half-inch layer of oil for 8,633 miles. Scientists are increasingly worried that this oil could be poisonous...
...most notable fact in religion today is that ministers of all denominations are trying, somewhat desperately but with immense energy and imagination, to find new ways to carry God back into the everyday life of society and to make him, in the prevailing cliche of the day, "relevant." This is not primarily a theological movement. Still, important new trends in theology suggest that God may best be met in the co-creation of a more humane society or, internally, in the deepest structures of our own psyches (see box, page 42). As so often in the history of faith, this...
...striking testimony to the hot and cold, the good and bad, in our everyday existence in this society when we can see a good citizen like Tiny Tim marry beautiful Vicky Budinger the same day that a 19 year-old dope fiend cheats his way to a pancake eating title.

Aunt Jemima would want it no other...
...respond not to the music or the artists themselves, but rather to their convulsive evocation of our own unconscious imagery. The best rock and roll bands, then are those whose synthesis of sound and image arouses the most violent and endurable fantasies, dreams and roles you can wear in everyday life. Sometimes the music gets in the way of fantasy, as in jazz, and the rock becomes reviewable, esoteric. Sometimes the fantasy becomes too formless (space music, psychedelia) or too simplistic (rock and roll revival) and the whole experience collapses. Great rock happenings are thus a dialogue between audience wishes...
...days later, Galway Kinnell appeared and read in Boylston Auditorium, and for me, it was like sunrise in a misty eastern sky... Suddenly schools of poetry and communities of like-minded poets seemed obsolete; idealism and purity reigned again. Kinnell read from an inexhaustible richness of things both everyday and vast, from the flesh and bones and stones of the woods and its parts. He read about the mountains in Vermont and I thought of Frost: he read about things growing and I thought of Rocthke; he read about the creative necessity of solitude and I thought...
