...Center in a cluster of 15 houses, which the swami painted an offensive bright blue. Worshipful disciples pestered the neighborhood with nonstop proselytizing. From 4 in the morning on, loudspeakers bellowing holy chants echoed through the district.

...Paul programs pair old and new, classical and modern in order to place one in the perspective of the other. A highly successful series, for example, featured the works of John Cage in tandem with those of Haydn. Cage, Elliott Carter and Hans Werner Henze have all served residencies in St. Paul. Almost half of the orchestra's selections are from the 20th century, and the majority of those are by American composers...

Companies are also shifting production from gasoline to heating oil so as to build up stocks for next winter. Even Carter last week admitted that this is necessary, and he warned that the U.S. faces gasoline shortages this summer and fall and a worse pinch next year...

The closings might well provoke motorists to start topping off their tanks, resulting in long lines at the pump just as during the Arab embargo...
