MOREOVER, the type of sewage plants that the Administration plans to construct is the type that fouls up the water with phosphates and nitrates. Meanwhile, the Administration, instead of fighting industrial polluters, gives them six months to prepare "plans" to lower pollution flow, even when one of the polluters, Jones and Laughlin Steel in Cleveland, continues to discharge cyanide, of all things, into the Cuyahoga River (which caught fire last spring). Yet the government refuses to raise the cost of polluting our rivers and streams...
...archipelago has been producing oil from land-based wells since 1893; last year the flow was 850,000 bbl. a day, compared to about 9,000,000 bbl. daily output in the U.S. The offshore rush began to heat up last year, when a combine of Atlantic Richfield and IIAPCO (a subsidiary of San Francisco-based Natomas Co.) made a find of potentially commercial size in the Java Sea. Soon after, Japex Indonesia Ltd., a Japanese government-controlled company, discovered oil in the Malacca Strait. Japex's results have yet to measure up to early expectations, but the Atlantic...
...point, Deliverance can bear comparison with both books. Ultimately, it fails where they succeed.

Cecil Brown has a very subtle way of creating total chaos within your imagination without you ever realizing how it all came about. The style and general format of the novel are easy and without interruption; yet somehow, amid the general flow of things, realities are contorted, perspectives tiltcrazily, and the whole tone of the novel can shuttle back and forth from snide humor to outright malevolence. "All is jive," says Mr. Jiveass Nigger, and from the beginning of the book until its end, you're never quite sure if you might not just be the one who's being...
WHILE errors in judicial rulings are an expected part of the legal process, the amount of personal bile that a U. S. District Court judge let flow from his mouth is much more astounding. Hoffman's refusal to learn defense attorney Leonard Weinglass' name-the Judge called him Weinstein, Feinstein, Weineruss, Fineglass, Weinramer, and a host of others-emerges as only one part of a generally snide approach to the defense. In the same vein, Hoffman alluded to William Kunstler's "comic book defense" and embroiled himself in the type of petty harassment one would expect of Abbie Hoffman...
