...Petroleum Exporting Countries. At their December meeting in Qatar, the cartel broke into two warring camps (TIME, Dec. 27). Eleven members, led by Iran and Iraq, raised their prices by 10%, to an average $12.70 per bbl. (v. $2.30 per bbl. in pre-embargo 1973); they also agreed to hike prices a further 5% on July 1. But the Saudis and their allies, the United Arab Emirates, arguing that higher fuel costs would hamper the recovery of the industrialized world, raised their prices by only 5%. Today their oil, which accounts for one-third of OPEC's output, sells...
...acre Chesapeake and Ohio National Historical Park. The hundreds gathered in his honor needed no reminder that it was Douglas who spearheaded a campaign to save the 184-mile towpath along the C&O canal from becoming a highway-in 1954 he led conservationists on an eight-day hike from Georgetown to Cumberland, Md., to publicize the cause.

...first dispute, not surprisingly, involves money. Though University officials will not discuss their offer to the union, sources close to the negotiations say Harvard proposed a salary hike of about 5 per cent to the union, to correspond with the recent rise in the cost of living. Laurence F. Letteri, president of the Patrolmen's Association, says the union will press for a bigger salary hike, and will also seek to obtain an increase in fringe benefits. The major fringes in question are "night and weekend differentials"--the extra pay that officers earn for working less desirable shifts. These differentials...
