...they might somehow manage to forestall even bigger OPEC money grabs in the days ahead. By bringing its charges up to the $24 level, where much of the rest of OPEC has been for months, Saudi Arabia is attempting to return order and stability to the cartel's chaotic price structure as well as head off demands in Caracas for much steeper hikes by such cartel radicals as Iran, Libya and Nigeria. Said Saudi Oil Minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani: "We wanted to avoid a hot discussion in Caracas that might lead to a much higher level of prices...
...This is especially true for the thousands of Europeans and Americans who have flocked to the Indian subcontinent in search of enlightenment, cheap dope and, like the Californian who turned her sadhana into a course on "inner environments," opportunity. As reckoned by the Hindus and Gore Vidal, this dark, chaotic age of Kali seethes with confusions, corruption and misapprehension. Karma, for example, a rather severe concept of determinism, has been turned into a metaphysical jelly bean by hippies, shopping-center swamis and jet-lagged gurus.

The Chargers ran through six offensive coordinators in seven seasons, and shed head coaches almost as frequently. With the arrival of former St. Louis Cardinals Head Coach Don Coryell in 1978, Fouts took off like one of his own passes. Coryell installed a sophisticated passing offense, a "tree" system that sends swarms of receivers downfield to move across predetermined "branches...
...30th book, .Singer corrects the citation. His fantasy is definitively inexhaustible. As for the microchaos, it is neither micro nor chaotic. It is as large and mysteriously ordered as the universe he ponders or the Polish village and villagers he knows by heart. No one familiar with Singer could fail to recognize his songs. Here again are the doomed Jews of the shtetl and the voluble retirees of Miami's gelt coast, the pious simpletons and the demons who can possess even the innocent spirit...
