...tough line against OPEC, and believe that the U.S. should even use economic clout to arm-twist other industrial countries into endorsing it. Carter himself, however, is inclined to what is described as a "firm but friendly" stand toward OPEC, and prefers what he calls an "all-around approach" based on "increased and sustained supply, a stable price and reduced consumption...
Though L.E.I.U. may focus on the Mafia, it has a disturbingly casual approach to what constitutes dangerous or suspicious activity, as shown by some of its file cards that have become public.

...biopsy-taking a tissue sample from the breast to see if any cells are cancerous. To their great distress, many women have found upon awakening that the surgeon has taken a breast as well as the sample. Kushner persuaded the largely male panel to endorse a two-step approach: a biopsy first, followed by an interval-sometimes as long as a month-before the next treatment, thus giving the patient and physicians time to reflect what, if any, surgery is best. Said Kushner, who had insisted on this two-step procedure in her own case: "We should be awake...
