...burrow from within, or so they said.) Bentley was a quarterback, a winner. He had composed a magna thesis in two weeks working with very little research and a very shaky theoretical knowledge. Bentley was against nuclear power and for gun control. But for all of his ACLU Nader's Raiders sensibilities. Bentley--reclining in comfort on his waterbed, propped up by cushions--would grin in agreement as Kojak violated civil liberties right and left. To his amazement. Long John discovered Bentley applauding a particularly artistic gun battle one night. Kojak's appeal cut across political lines that spring...
...Galbraith's sarcasm we find a fuzzy picture. On the crest of his wave of assault on the modern corporation Galbraith comes off as quite the socialist. To control the giant corporation, the author proposes a group of public auditors to replace the traditional board of directors, a la Nader; he even goes on to suggest that the government buy out each company's stockholders and have the dividends accrue to the public. Yet at another point Galbraith changes horses and suggests that "land is tilled well only by men and women who are encouraged by high prices and dissuaded...
...facing Jimmy Carter in selling his energy program. The President based his case for urgent conservation efforts partly on a CIA study that forecasts serious world petroleum shortages and economic upheavals as early as the mid-1980s.

If that idea takes hold with the public, the President can scarcely hope to rally the U.S. for the "moral equivalent of war" against energy waste...
...Ralph Nader rather irresponsibly voiced doubt that there is any energy crisis: he asserted that "we have far more oil and gas in this country than the oil industry is officially willing to recognize." His argument is difficult to refute conclusively; the Government itself is dissatisfied with figures on the size of U.S. energy resources (TIME, April 18). Yet neither point makes much difference for policy. World oil reserves assuredly are finite, even if they might last a bit longer than the CIA thinks. Moreover, part of Nader's argument is that vast quantities of natural gas under...
Complains Allen Fox, an aide to Senator Edward Kennedy's subcommittee on health resources and scientific research: "There is no accountability in decision making. The FDA must be reorganized internally." Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of the Ralph Nader-affiliated Public Citizen's Health Research Group in Washington, says of the agency's initial decision to ban saccharin altogether: "The FDA wrote up its intention in one hour and 20 minutes. The furor could have been avoided if they thought of public reaction. They blew...
