...possess 14.5 per cent of the the market, they also control the other stages of the production process.

The vertically integraged oligopoly does not set its prices at MC equals MR, but at the highest prices consumers will pay without hurting the corporation's profits. Combined with OPEC's 1979 price increase of 14.5 per cent, Carter's hikes will push the price of gasoline and the size of utility bills even higher...

The poor cop was just doing his duty ticketing the lady with the expired license plates. And TIME happened to be there. Cheryl still got a ticket...
...chips are used to compose music, draw Op artistic pictures and write poems. They will never be Marvells or undo Donne?but they are trying. Poet-Novelist Carol Spearin Mc-Cauley notes in her book Computers and Creativity (Praeger) that the well-programmed computer is freed from "the confines of English grammar, syntax and common usage ... The machine's lack of shame, so to speak, frees it to express many things that a writer, by habit used to excluding or censoring the ungrammatical, awkward or ambiguous, would not consider." Marie Boroff, an English professor at Yale, acted as muse...
