...while you are factually correct when you say that the Virgin Islands has "a homicide rate higher than that of New York City," it is gratuitous and unfair to cite New York for that tragic comparison. The fact is that among the nation's major cities, Detroit, Washington, St. Louis, New Orleans, Cleveland, Baltimore, Chicago, Memphis, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston and Phila delphia all have 1973 homicide rates higher than New York...
MORRIS'S BOOK ends in late 1972, but the situation began brightening last spring.

As for any "concerted diplomatic effort to break the OPEC cartel," that cannot happen soon. Our Government, by threatening to pre-empt oil supplies and sponsoring preferential treatment for Saudi Arabian oil, has so scared and embittered our European and Asian friends that they would not listen even if we spoke the truth...
