More immediate is the promise of oil. Though its proven reserves primarily in western Sinai and offshore in the Gulf of Suez total only 3 billion bbl. (v. 110 billion bbl. for Saudi Arabia), Egypt already produces enough oil to fill its own needs and provide a sizable surplus. This year, the country is again an oil exporter, to the happy tune of $311 million. Sadat predicts that the figure will jump to $1.5 billion by 1980. In addition, Egypt has largely untapped deposits of phosphates and iron...
...people have given up trying. Each national Administration has promised to cut the paper burden, only to end up adding to it. The Commission on Federal Paperwork, created in 1974 to figure out how to control red tape, estimates that the Government cranks out enough documents every year to fill 51 major league baseball stadiums or eleven new Washington Monuments.

All were told that their funds would be cut off as of Jan. 8 and ordered to answer charges some time next year at the nearest HEW regional office...
...fans who regularly fill the stadium to capacity for Bronco games, that decision seemed only proper. The Broncos were the Mets of the Mountains through 18 long years - including 13 straight losing seasons. Now they are the proud holders of the best record in pro football and are play-off bound for the first time. In honor of the Broncos' powerful 3-4 defense, the Orange Crush, Denver bakeries sell orange crushcakes, bumper stickers proclaim HAVE A MERRY CRUSHMAS, and to assure that the wish comes true, Denverites are spraying their Christmas trees orange...
