The price is very high. The actual cost is evidenced by the freshly turned turf in Arlington and the crowded wards of our military hospitals. In these places lie the quiet ones-the givers. We never hear from them because they are not vocal. We hear only from the selfish who are unwilling to see their country through another trying period. These folks with...

Though pledged with the advent of North Sea natural gas to push Britain toward a cheap-energy policy, the government this month raised the price of nationalized electricity...
...compact and medium-sized auto, it was already producing Anglias, Consuls and Prefects; for bigger-car buyers, it was manufacturing Zephyrs and Zodiacs. The market appeared to be covered. Then, Ford planners spotted a potentially lucrative gap. To fill it, they created the Cortina, a car in the Anglia price range but with roominess comparable to the Consul...
