The Artist Looks at the Machine: Whitman, Sheeler, and American Modernism

In a period such as ours when only a comparatively few individuals seem to be given to religion, some form other than the Gothic cathedral must be found. Industry concerns the greatest numbers—it may be true, as has been said, that our factories are our substitute for religious expression.

Some time ago, I posted about Chevron's strategic acquisition and how that affected the future of electric vehicles to this day. There is nothing new about their strategy, not at all. John D.
