...should not deviate from adherence to domestic and international law just because certain other countries, such as Castro's Cuba, do so." But the doctrine appears ripe for further revision. Switzerland and Italy have dropped all immunity for certain types of commercial activity. Some State Department insiders predict that the U.S. will eventually follow suit...
...experts foresee the end of the six-year price plateau for the U.S. economy, predict that the continuing boom may drive up wholesale prices 3% or 4% in the next year, boost consumer prices 2½% to 3% . That is, however, a distinctly minority view. Most businessmen and economists, the Council of Economic Advisers and the Federal Reserve Bank expect no more than half that increase, which they feel is a small price to pay for continued prosperity.

Gas's share could grow twice that fast-to 20%-if it is priced low enough. Up to now gas prices have been kept close to those of rival fuels, partly because coal and oil companies own major interests in many gas-distribution combines and partly because so many governments are committed to subsidizing inefficient...
