...most discouraging aspects of the Iranian crisis is how little it has moved the U.S. Government to counter the energy threat by taking dramatic action to conserve oil. Not only does the trauma in Tehran threaten at any moment to choke off deliveries of nearly 3 million bbl. of crude per day to an oil-thirsty world, but it increasingly jeopardizes petroleum supplies throughout the Middle East. U.S. Government officials calculate that a widespread upheaval in the Persian Gulf could quickly cut U.S. imports by 4 million bbl. per day, or more than 22% of total consumption. On another front...
...million bbl. of oil that the U.S. burns each day. The Administration estimates that an immediate 50? boost in the cost of gasoline, which now sells at an average for all grades of $1.04 per gal., would cut consumption by 7%, the equivalent of about 500,000 bbl. of crude...

These projects may be stretched out if some recent finds of conventional petroleum elsewhere prove more financially attractive. Some oilmen believe that two offshore strikes, in the Arctic's Beaufort Sea and along the Newfoundland coast, could prove to be of Middle East proportions...

...romantic painters (Turner, for instance, or, in our own century, Pollock), there is a wide range of feeling, apportioned and understood, between the small, exactly registered perception and the grand, generalized effect. Still's colors tend to repetition, the drawing is clumsy, and the paint surface is often crude; he has a way of crushing his pigments into clots and straggles of shiny impasto that works badly against the mat ground. Thus his visual language can look dour and forced...
