Minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani declared that his country would supply the U.S. with 1 million bbl. a day, implying a production boost all the way back to September levels. That move alone would cut the projected U.S. petroleum shortfall about in half. But Yamani's Arab brethren declined to disclose how fast they intended to pump and ship...
...step down as 100th Archbishop of Canterbury. A determined ecumenist, Ramsey became in 1966 the first Cantuar to officially meet a Pope in 600 years. In avuncular fashion, he even made the swinging scene, telling his fellow clergy to stop being scandalized by topless fashions. He himself shocked his brethren in the middle of an argument about church vestments by disclosing, "In some churches I wear no more than a black scarf."

...this Third World gloom, there is of course one standout exception: the handful of underdeveloped countries that happen to be oil producers, including Iran, Indonesia, Nigeria, Venezuela and several Arab states, have struck a bonanza. Indeed, they could now afford to help their underdeveloped brethren, by setting a lower price on oil exported to poor countries than on petroleum sold to industrialized lands. In the past, however, oil producers have turned a deaf ear to pleas that they organize such a two-price market. They have argued, probably correctly, that it would lead to a black market that would siphon...
