Field contributions and Gauss's theorem for retarded functions lead to a new formula for gravitational-radiation energy loss. It clarifies the applicability of the quadrupole formula for systems with T super ik-dominated motion. Applied to the axially symmetric two-body problem with equation of state epsion = epsilon (e) for short free-fall times, the new formula yields the bulk-motion quadrupole-formula results. This contrasts an earlier larger flux with unconventional equation of state and that of critics claming a quadrupole-formula flux from internal motions. An order-of-magnitude estimate yields potential corrections of quadrupole-formula size after about 100 yr for the binary pulsar.
