More important, stocks of heating oil have dropped dangerously (4.6% below the "minimum acceptable level" for May). Refineries would ordinarily be starting all-out production of gasoline now, to supply the summer driving surge, but the Carter Administration is urging them instead to switch as much output as possible to heating oil, in order...

Finally, two of the harshest critics have charged that in substituting pure theory for "the hard work of learning the facts about the world," idealistic mathematicians have used the theory "deduce the world by thought alone...
