...local governments; to forgo $180 million in future price increases that it could have legally imposed; and to reduce gasoline and propane prices by about 2? per gal. Finally, Amoco said it would invest an extra $410 million in domestic oil exploration, production and refining. DOE Special Counsel Paul Bloom explained that such a complicated rebate system was necessary because it was now impossible to locate the millions of customers who had been overcharged a few pennies for every gallon of gasoline or fuel oil purchased from Amoco during the past six years...

Though Kostelanetz fled war-ravaged Petrograd, where he had conducted opera, for New York City in 1922, his U.S. career did not bloom until eight years later when he was hired to lead the CBS symphony orchestra on radio's Chesterfield Hour.

Bloom had the power to negotiate settlements, and he modeled them after the SEC's consent decrees. Companies that sign them with the DOE neither admit nor deny wrongdoing, but agree to stop what they have been doing and make a financial settlement...
...MULTIFLEX--The Restic brainchild will not be back in full bloom with Buchanan still just learning the ropes. St. John had a very good grip on the system of infinite-shift confusion, but Buchanan can be expected to stay with a relatively simple option offense more than anything else. The problem, as Restic has said since early September, is that the Crimson lineman do not have the size to "blow out" the opposition. With the Flex, where everyone is shifting, the Crimson can take advantage of motion to offset much of the size disadvantage. But from the power...
