In Florida, where Democrats are just recovering from the struggle over delegates to a state convention at which a meaningless straw vote will be taken, National Committeewoman Hazel Tally Evans laments, "It's totally out of hand, everything is happening much too early.

Arnold Safer, vice president of the Irving Trust Company, has said, "Projected world oil shortages are analogous to a 'receding horizon'--no matter how rapidly you move toward the horizon, it is still the same distance away." Certainly the world oil supply cannot last forever. But our current problems stem from a lack of surplus capacity that makes us vulnerable to the slightest production cutback by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
