...abruptly changed the situation by, among other things, extending federal price controls to so-called intrastate gas. That has made it just as profitable for a driller in, say, Oklahoma to sell his gas to a pipeline company that will transport it to Michigan as to a customer that will use it to generate electricity or heat a factory in Tulsa. This in turn has made available an estimated 1 trillion additional cubic feet of the fuel for sale in states such as Ohio, Indiana, and New Jersey, where it is needed most. One trillion cubic feet is roughly equal...
...which have been newly rebuilt with pink paving stone. Rifle-toting policemen patrol the downtown banking area because, as one shopkeeper laments, "this is the season of the rateros [thieves], and they know this is a money town now." The better bars echo with the accents of Texas and Oklahoma, since Americans have been quietly allowed in to market equipment and technical advice. Brazilians, Frenchmen and Israelis are also eager to buy Mexico's oil and gas if Pemex does not strike a deal with...
Sacked from the baseball diamond, former Yankee Manager Billy Martin has turned businessman square. Well, not too square. A lover of Western boots and country music ever since his Oklahoma-born buddy Mickey Mantle introduced him to them, Martin plans to open a chain of Western boutiques. The specialty: boots.

...limited to beer, wine or whatever hard liquor they chose to "brown bag" (carry with them) when they went out on the town. With North Carolina's shift to local option, there are now only two states where sales of drinks at public places are banned outright. One is Oklahoma, where the temperance law is widely ignored. The other is Kansas, which ran into legal difficulties with its attempt...
...State is, in fact, an independent.) Football has never been a mania at Penn State. Long before the N.C.A.A. this year clamped a 30-player annual limit on new recruits and a ceiling of 95 football scholarships overall, Paterno rarely recruited more than 25 players a year. By comparison, Oklahoma bestowed 40 to 50 scholarships a year before the new limits were imposed. Players point proudly to the absence of a jock aristocracy on the 27,000-student Penn State campus. There is no lush special housing for players; they live in regular dormitories, and curfews are virtually unknown...
