...that remained to be resolved on Monday morning. They would curb production, said Yamani, only if the African states would charge a premium price for their oil that fully reflected its higher-than-average quality. Nigeria, Algeria and Libya produce so-called sweet crude, which yields a particularly desirable mix of products after refining. Moreover, because these countries are relatively close geographically to their European customers, the cost of transporting the crude is lower. For these reasons, the OPEC members have tacitly agreed in the past that African oil should sell for a few dollars more per barrel than...
...gentle testimonials from North and South had the unintended timbre of eulogies. Alabama Football Coach Paul ("Bear") Bryant was a man whose life's work and life could scarcely be thought of separately. He died last week at 69 from a heart attack, but really a mix of illnesses that he had been fighting for three years (heroically, said his doctor), all the while he was pursuing Pop Warner and Amos Alonzo Stagg right up to his 323rd victory in the Liberty Bowl...
...sent salesmen to supermarkets in Kansas City with sample bags of cookies bearing P & G's Duncan Hines label. The inaugural flavors are five varieties of chocolate chip-either plain or combined with butterscotch, almonds, mint or peanut butter-fudge.

...negotiations had become deadlocked over the proper mix of tax increases (generally favored by Democrats) and benefit cuts (generally favored by Republicans). The final days of deliberation had all the hallmarks of shuttle diplomacy. A coterie of four prominent commission members, Republican Senator Robert Dole of Kansas, Moynihan, Republican Congressman Barber Conable of New York and former Social Security Commissioner Robert Ball, huddled repeatedly with Baker, Budget Director David Stockman and other Administration officials to hammer out a package of compromises. Half a block away, at the commission's offices, five conservative members, headed by Republican Senator William Armstrong...
Carbon dioxide is a clear gas that puts the bubbles in pop and beer and makes drinkers burp. The fact that it can do as much for tired oil wells, and thereby rejuvenate them, has made CO2 one of the most promising ingredients in the U.S. energy mix. Indeed, oil firms are now sinking more than $1.5 billion into a pair of pipelines to deliver CO2 from southern Colorado to declining Texas oilfields, even though falling oil prices threaten to squeeze the ventures' profits...
