Carter's program, which resembles the late Vice President Nelson Rockefeller's 1975 plan for a $100 billion Energy Independence Authority, would profit many companies, small and large alike. Any rush to build synfuel plants would bring new orders for makers of steel, drilling-equipment tools and construction machinery. Says Julian Ward, vice president at Houston's Brown & Root construction firm: "Any company with design-engineering and construction capability is going to have a part of this thing-it's so big. The spending would sop up the entire U.S. petrochemical-engineering know...
Carter's plan leaves many questions unanswered. Nobody in Washington seems to know how much energy would be expended just to build the plants, roads, railroads, machines and tools needed to create the synfuels industry-and how much time would pass before the U.S. realized a net energy gain. Simply building the necessary infrastructure will chew up years. Yet the payoff in the form of oil and gas could be so enormous that the U.S. might, some decades hence, become again an exporter of energy. The U.S. has an enormous potential lode of synthetic fuel, and the growing consensus...
...concentration. Supremely honest, unrhetorical painting, it breathes the air of scrupulous anxiety. He has a surer sense of tone-the visual equivalent of natural pitch-than anyone else painting today, and color is second to it; his images are not meant to soothe or win the eye but to build up a record of their action through a labyrinth of nuances. For this reason, a painting like Anne Leaning on a Table, 1977, is as bracing as it is modest.

Bislett Stadium, a runner's paradise that has produced more than 30 world records, attracted an outstanding field, including such world class milers as Steve Scott, the U.S.'s best, Eamonn Coghlan of Ireland and Walker. Slight of build (5 ft. 9¾ in., 129 Ibs.), Coe is a "tactical" runner who compensates for lack of brute horsepower with shrewd race strategy. His plan this time, he explained later, had been "to stay close to the lead, but never be the lead myself, until...
