...raise retail prices to the world level set by the oil-producing cartel (OPEC). Under the Carter plan, most of the wellhead tax would be rebated to consumers. The oil and gas companies would also like to see domestic oil prices rise to world levels, but they object to the wellhead tax and rebate plan. They want to retain all of the proceeds from the higher prices-not to keep profits high, they insist, but to finance the ever growing cost of exploration...
...I.L.A. is now demanding that all port guarantees be brought closer to the New York level. Though New York employers naturally do not object, those in the other ports do, and as a result, the industry has been unable to agree on a common response.

However, there is another object in the museum demonstrating that by 380-350 B.C. Thracian craftsmen could produce a similarly ornamental piece of jewelry. From a tomb at Urasta came a pair of gold earrings complete with rosettes, tendrils, and beads suspended--doubtless they were too heavy to wear every day (they were five cm. long)--but they still conjure up images of perfumed favorites in whispering silk: the same kind of romanticized seraglio as Ingres depicted...
