...deft hands of Moore or Genovese, Marxian class analysis exposes strata of human experience that were not apparent to previous historians. But history is too rich and varied to yield its secrets to one method alone...
...interior conditions of the earth's crust. One of the most respected U.S. geophysicists, Gordon J. F. MacDonald, reports that wherever huge dams are built, the earth starts shuddering. The enormous weight of the water in the reservoirs behind the dam puts a new stress on the subsurface strata, which are already in natural stress. In consequence, giant sections of the earth's crust sheer past one another and the earth quivers. MacDonald warns that earthquakes may result (and did near Denver) from one of the newest anti-pollution techniques: injecting liquid chemical wastes into deep wells...
...making their case for continental drift, scientists used some obvious evidence: geological strata in South America that matched those of West Africa in areas where the continents might have been joined; fossils of plants and animals from one continent that were identical to those on another, even though they are separated by thousands of miles of ocean. Just off Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf, for example, an Ohio State University expedition recently discovered the fossilized bones of a hippopotamus-like reptile called Lystro-saurus that had been thought to live only in prehistoric South Africa and Asia...
...subculture" with all sorts of appendages like new values and relevant commentaries. Hollywood and "Seventeen" magazine parade the "now-generation" and we get scene after slick page of how to be with whatever it is. Evidently, the Underground has made it: shunted off into its own little strata, it is now in the position to be analyzed, ranted against, profited from, scaled with the boundaries between those who know and those...
...unbiased observer, and ad-man, lab-man who drops the role of impartial analyst to lead the NAC "tour of the zoo" while testing his product. And like the media, the tract appeals to a valued life-style-in this case, a morally superior one. The reporter is even strata-spherically above accepting the University's blood-stained brownies. And consider the drama. The identification of the enemy, for instance: clear-cut, as in a cowboy movie. Or the puffing about being in University Hall last April: a real Marlboro...
