...long run, the U.S. can produce and import enough fuel if it is willing to pay the price-but that price will be high. The economy has been built in large part on cheap energy, and adjusting to an era of scarce and costly fuel will mean painfully wrenching changes. While Nixon tries to cut the budget, he may have to channel more federal money into research for harnessing thermonuclear fusion and building plants at mines that would produce gas by burning coal. Home builders will surely have to put more insulation into new houses and apartments, raising immediate costs...
...will have to import far more natural gas and oil-from Canada, the Middle East and maybe the Soviet Union. Administration officials talk of acquiring Siberian natural gas in return for U.S. technological and financial aid, but it will be eight years at best before the Soviets can produce and deliver large amounts to the U.S. Besides, the Soviets want foreign companies to ante up almost all the billions of dollars for surveys, pipelines and liquid-gas tankers...
These holdings pale beside his other operations. His parent company, Kokusai Kogyo (International Enterprises), was started in Tokyo in 1947 with a fleet of dilapidated charcoal-burning buses, and now embraces 38 subsidiaries, including ski areas and bowling alleys, restaurants, taxi and bus companies, and trading houses that import everything from American cars to golf clubs.

Détente or no, Washington wanted no repetition of its experience with the present nine-story chancellery on Moscow's Tchaikovsky Street...
...been racing through the West since it was introduced about two years ago. In California, Mazda is already the fourth-biggest-selling import, ahead of Fiat and Volvo. U.S. sales have grown from almost nothing in 1970 to an estimated 60,000 this year, and are expected by company officers to at least double next year. Mazda officials expect the operation to reach optimum size in 1975, with 655 dealers selling 300,000 cars annually. That could well put Mazda among the top five car sellers, about even with American Motors...
