Among the notable effects of the energy shortage is a radical change in oil-company advertising. Surprising as it may appear to readers and TV viewers who see a sudden gush of oil ads, few major oil firms have increased their advertising much, and many have cut back. But the ads that do run are not aimed at selling gasoline; they tend to be institutional ads that seek to explain the energy crisis and the companies' high profits. Says Paul Haynie, a Needham, Harper & Steers executive who handles advertising for Atlantic Richfield: "It didn't make sense...
Meanwhile, as economists wistfully looked to the future and predicted that all would be rosy when Britain's North Sea oil fields gush in, Gordon Richardson, recently named governor of the Bank of England, warned that the country still faces "years of relative austerity." Reason: Britain had been living beyond its means and importing too much under Heath's failed gamble for growth. As it happened, that was just what Harold Wilson was saying. Sharpening up his campaign strategy, the Labor leader charged that it was not the miners who had brought on the crisis but the government...
...Disney's work was fleeting. There was the Toccata and Fugue in Fantasia, with its pastel runs of animated Kandinsky.

Now the rich gush of oil cash into Abu Dhabi and such other Arab states as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Libya has forced a change of attitude...
Ross Russell's biography, "Bird Lives!", vividly documents the achievement and the tragedy of Parker's life. Unlike many writers who gush about jazzmen with little regard for facts, Russell remains temperate without being tepid. His style slips only when he reverts to a psuedo-novelistic form. Though Russell has unrestrained respect for Parker's talents, he nevertheless dismantles much of the myth that has grown around this genius of improvisation. Russell shows that Parker earned his place in jazz's pantheon by more than a shot of heroin. His talent was nurtured by hard work...
