...Soviet Union would find itself at a further disadvantage. As enormous new oil revenues begin to flow into the Arab countries, there is little inclination to spend them in the Soviet Union. Credits for inferior Soviet technology no longer amount to such an attractive deal. Iraq, the current epicenter of Soviet in fluence in the Middle East, is turning once again to the West for technology and investment. The country's biggest project, a $120 million deep-water terminal on the Persian Gulf, is being built by a Texas outfit and a West German company. A major expansion...
...buyers by far in recent years have been the Japanese, who have bought an estimated $300 million worth since 1967. Prices for emeralds in Japan have more than doubled in the past two years, and a dealer can be assured of at least a 20% profit on even an inferior stone. But none of that does much to help the Colombian government. It must either find a way to quash the esmeralderos or accept the frustrating fact that its vast gem deposits add up to nothing more than a green elephant...

I attempted to recapture the sweet joys of youth and made a startling revelation. Vending machines, while making a profit for their owners, stock inferior candy--and even what they do have is stale. Candy bars cost a fortune. No longer can one be a gourmand on a nickel delight. Even the 15 cent and 20 cent bars have shrunk. My mouth isn't that much bigger, but the bars are consumable in one bite...
...accept the transcripts or insist on getting the original tapes, Majority Counsel John Doar said flatly, "The transcripts are not accurate." Doar hastened to explain that certain words might have been dropped by the White House transcribers because of inattention and that some "unintelligible" segments might be attributable to inferior listening equipment. But some committee members thought Doar was being unduly generous and that some tapes had in fact been tampered with...
