...passed Carter's plan to ease the natural gas crisis, and he signed it into law-his first. The measure gives the Federal Government the authority to transfer natural gas supplies from areas with a surplus to those where there is a shortage. Just twelve hours after the ink was dry on the bill, the first gas started flowing from the Pacific Northwest through a series of connections to Texas and then on to the energy-starved Northeast...
...energy shortage: "Do you really think that the people out of the market because of unemployment can be counted on to return, and in what numbers, and when?" American Motors will undoubtedly hang on in the sales race, but its hopes for stopping the flow of red ink are once more in the hands of outside forces...

Almost all the others write in pink ink about horse-and-carriage love and marriage; Rogers pumps out purple prose about red-blooded males and females living at white heat in electric-blue relationships. Passion drives her tales, and passion to Rogers is not a pretty thing. It is a volcano of hatred that relieves itself in violent sexual expression. In most histo-romances, the climax is the kiss, but Rogers realistically noted that a new mass market for pornography exists -and that vast numbers of respectable women would become...
