...democratic decision by those who use and pay for the services! Your letter fails to note the distinction between purchasing products for services and the actual provision of education in the eyes of students.

...antipollution regulations require all cars built in the 1975 model year or later to use unleaded gas. A refinery needs 5% to 10% more crude to turn out a gallon of leadfree as opposed to regular gas. More important, stocks of heating oil have dropped dangerously (4.6% below the "minimum acceptable level" for May).

Though most viewers ordering cable do so to see late movies or sports events, or simply to get clearer pictures, programmers are putting together ever more innovative packages of shows that cannot...
