...energy noted in 1975. "No other government outside the United States has thought it wise to be completely dependent on the oil companies." But the U.S. would not have to explain a decision to participate in the oil industry only in terms of joining its capitalist comrades. It could cite home-grown precedents, too. The best is probably the Tennessee Valley Authority. It was a model of the yardstick competitor not only in price but in services and social concern, reclaiming land and replanting forests...
...Caribbean into paradise. After all, Puerto Rico gets more than $1 billion in federal aid, but unemployment hovers at 18% and the living standard is well below that of the mainland U.S. Still, there is a growing recognition by the Administration that "poverty is the real menace" -to cite the words of Francisco Peńa Gómez, secretary-general of the Dominican Republic's ruling party.

On balance, though, U.S. policymakers believe Mexico can surely avoid the kind of wrenching upheaval that led to revolution in Iran. Corrupt and sluggish though the P.R.I, may be, it is also...
...Economic Development Administration decided to guarantee loans totaling $111.1 million for the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. to install pollution control equipment. Though that guarantee was granted under a special Administration program to help steelmakers meet the heavy cost of complying with environmental rules, Chrysler officials are sure to cite it as a precedent in their push for much bigger guarantees...
