Although "The Energy Game"'s beguiling simplicity belies a sophisticated research effort, it represents a microcosm of MR&A's forecasting efforts and Westinghouse's public relations front.

Placed on the offensive, the firm's nuclear divisions must convince utilities, the government, and the public, that future energy wants require the construction of more reactors. For MR&A employees, justifying nuclear power is an article of faith; almost every task the group undertakes relates to this objective...

Concerned that the May 26 goal for the autonomy talks, as set by the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty, was fast approaching, Carter last month had invited both Sadat and Israeli Premier Menachem Begin to confer with him separately...
