Industry critics reply that much of the increased drilling activity is in areas where only small deposits are thought to exist but the chances of finding them are good. Clearly, adequate exploration incentives are needed if enough new oil is to be found to keep pace with even the Administration's target of a modest annual 2% growth in the nation's energy consumption; just as clearly, the dispute...

But one of rehabilitation's main elements must be that the convict begins to identify, somehow, with the rest of society. When that society is represented by a prison administration that appears to be unresponsive, rehabilitation seems a distant ideal.
