Last week Energy Secretary James Schlesinger said that the U.S. has met its pledge to the 20-nation International Energy Agency in Paris to cut consumption of petroleum by 1 million bbl. daily. But the reduction has been caused largely by the lack of gasoline, which Schlesinger's department is struggling to correct...
Since UNCTAD last met in Kenya three years ago, several Latin American governments as well as Sri Lanka, India and others have moved toward more reliance on free market economics.

His rapid-fire portrayal of the martinet, General Garcia, is at once a deranged Seňor Wences routine...

Even his reputation as the literary star of the Russian emigration was left behind. Wilson did his best to import it.
