...face it, an Englishman in America was more impressive in those days than his clockwise counterpart. Before the cattle boats began disgorging secretaries, English voices were unheard between New York and the Gold Coast, and I had the best. So the old ladies who used to gush over my cute accent would now be made to pay through the nose for it. Young Chatworth gave a bitter laugh as he remembered how he used to flinch and try to hide that accent. Pah! Does the bearded lady shave? Does Tom Thumb lie about his height? Use it, boy.

...discover himself, falls completely flat. When Tom Rush recorded this song, he understated the lyrics, using only a guitar to accompany his soft, husky voice. Bromberg makes the mistake of injecting too much pathos in an already overly sentimental song, allowing a string section to drip, or rather, gush, while he croons in what sounds like a hostile Leo Kottke imitation...
Besides that, oceans of unpumped oil are known to exist in the U.S. Only about a third of the oil in a well is ever brought to the surface by present methods-primarily, letting it gush out under its own pressure.

Some drilling experts calculate that the recovery rate could be increased to 60%, which would almost double U.S. recoverable...

...decision by the Begin government to recognize the three settlements officially makes them eligible for subsidies and for such services as schools and bus transportation. But Begin's support for the communities last week also whetted Gush Emunim's desire to expand Jewish presence in the territories. The organization has recruited families to establish twelve more settlements on the West Bank, and threatens demonstrations unless the government authorizes them by September. Although Begin will probably impose a moratorium on new settlements until the Geneva Conference reconvenes, he pointedly told newsmen last week that there was no government freeze...
