...Caterwaul & Caricature. The war has sundered the moral and political life of the U.S. as deeply as any crisis in this century. Within both major parties politicians have at least had a traditional forum from which to endorse or denounce the course of U.S. policy. Not so with the nation's private citizens who are critical of the war.

Yet before oilmen can enjoy this long-term prosperity, they must first solve their short-term problems. The solution is not so much to caterwaul about imports, or even slack production schedules, but to return to the old-fashioned virtues of a free marketplace in which supply and demand set the price of petroleum products.
