Steady Rise. By far the hardest-hit consumers are the tens of thousands who are stuck with the all-electric homes that the utilities promoted so heavily until the early 1970s. Many of these residents complain that their electricity bills now exceed their mortgage payments.

"I do not think the A.C.L.U. should be involved in movements. It should be there to protect victims of movements." One unresolved current debate illustrates the problem. A women's rights faction recommends making rape prosecutions easier, but that would inevitably collide with the traditional civil libertarian concern for the rights of defendants.
