...exhaust system in the building also needs to be revised, Koehler said...
...Wilson argue that, given the wrong set of bad-luck breaks (for instance, a Saudi decision to hold back production), world oil supply could run short of meeting needs in as little as ten years. That agrees with Carter's warning last April that demand could begin to exhaust "all the proven reserves in the entire world by the end of the next decade...
Even these problems do not exhaust the list of problems plaguing this chaos-as-cinema. Few foreign films are dubbed these days, and with good reason; the awkward insertion of another person's voice speaking a different tongue into the lips of the original actors, besides being aesthetically offensive, robs the viewer of the genuine performance. But Chabrol unaccountably elected to ignore this long-accepted truism, perhaps as part of a misguided effort to accommodate the English-speaking Steiger. Combine this blunder with the normally sluggish quality of a Chabrol screenplay, and you come up with a film virtually stripped...
Another problem is where to find diesel fuel; fewer than 5% of the nation's gas stations carry it. The diesel still emits more and blacker smoke than a gasoline engine-although, quite surprisingly, the smoke contains fewer polluting hydrocarbons and less carbon monoxide than gasoline exhaust. Finally, there is the matter of price: though quotations have not been firmly fixed, GM expects its diesel cars to sell for $750 to $840 more than an Olds powered by a conventional engine. Is there, nonetheless, a market? Probably. Mercedes-Benz introduced passenger diesels...

Matisse liked to talk about the "beneficent radiation" of his color, of its power to heal, and he would prop up his paintings, like sun lamps, around the bed of a sick friend. In the National...
