Levy's most compelling-argument is that tariffs "would make the U.S. Government the world oil-control center." Decisions limiting how much oil each region could sell in the U.S. would be made primarily by the Government and not by companies simply seeking the cheapest oil with which to fill their quotas. "Every oil decision would become a foreign policy decision," says Levy.

Dock congestion around the world has become so common that general cargo ships spend about half their time in port loading, unloading or just waiting-even when the docks are not shut down by a longshoremen's strike...
