(l NP ) great speech Mr Obama

[Monte Davis]

Rich recalls Ballard's 

> time and space terrorism, mineral and motorway pornography, exhausted
minds and environments, dead astronauts orbiting a dying world in dead
capsules, bio-art, sleep, deserted cities of the heart, and an
abandoned century...

It's the 21st century now, Rich, things are going pear-shaped. You gotta let
go of all that feel-good nostalgia.
