Well, that's one view of a pressing energy crisis suddenly much larger than the state of California. Pedal-to-the-metal increases--not just in gasoline but in heating oil, natural gas and electricity--are a state of mind across the land, and most folks aren't appeased by Schupp's silver-lining view.

The habit drove advisers like Scowcroft crazy, not only because they couldn't keep track of what he said but also because Bush Sr. had a tendency to soft-pedal problems.
