...collect more in taxes on petroleum imports than OPEC does when it exports the crude. Eventually, everyone stands to lose. The world's poorest countries have borrowed so much to pay for oil that their accumulated indebtedness has risen to more than $210 billion. Such major U.S. lenders as Citicorp and Chase Manhattan have huge loans out to India, Pakistan, Turkey and many other countries. Fears are rising that sooner or later some borrowers will not be able to afford even their interest payments. The threat is not simply of defaults leading to instability, but of worsening hunger and unrest...

Displaying no cosmetically applied malignancies, Philip Anglim 's Merrick is like some sort of simple, twisted saint...
...their Pennzoil Place in Houston (1976). Johnson calls it "shaped modern"-the glass slab with shears and cuts. Sometimes it is combined with mirror glass. This fashion for veiling the mass in shine, or dissolving it in reflections, can be seen in the polished aluminum skin of Hugh Stubbins' Citicorp Building in Manhattan...
