...Energy Department study has concluded that by 1982 the use of gasohol will have spread to the point where it will be supplanting about 3% of gasoline consumption. As output of alcohol rises to meet demand, its high cost-commercially distilled pure alcohol now sells for as much as $1.85 per gal.-will come down, making the price competitive with gasoline's. Eventually, alky fans hope, the U.S. will catch up with Brazil: by the early 1980s some 15% of all automobile fuel used there will be straight alcohol...
Consequently, one of New England Power Company's main generating units was overloaded, and power output had to be cut back by 75 per cent...
...energy board would consist of three members appointed by and responsible to the President. Their mission: cut red tape. The board would be empowered by Congress to select projects-the building of pipelines and refineries, the opening of coal mines-that it deemed essential to expand domestic fuel output. It then could waive procedural requirements for endless hearings imposed by a maze of environmental, safety and other laws, and set rigid deadlines for state and local authorities to give a yes-or-no answer on whether those projects would be allowed...

His object, brilliantly realized in some parts of his small and sharply edited output, is to make sight and formal deliberation fuse. The conjunctions within Arikha's work, its breadth of language and depth of feeling set off against its insecurity and self-questioning, make it unlike any thing done by an American figurative painter since Edward Hopper. So does its intelligence. Nothing...
