...Senate and House whizzed through a long-delayed bill, which the President signed, to lay a pipeline across 789 miles of tundra, mountains and rivers between Alaska's North Slope oilfields and the warm-water port of Valdez. The pipe will pump some 2,000,000 bbl. per day-about 11 % of the nation's current needs. Though the line will be constructed on a hurry-up basis at a cost of $4.5 billion, it will still not be in operation until 1977, if then. In taking the action, Congress brushed aside longstanding objections by environmentalists, who argue...
...faith. The inventor, in a burst of Yankee practicality, foresaw the need for an alternative source of power. Another of the Rippe engines, the 911 pumper, was designed to enable water to run in whatever direction it wanted, including uphill. Nearly every piece in the show is supposed to pump either water or air, though why their inventor wanted to tamper with the elements in the first place is left unexplained.

It is a measure of the rise of Arab power in world affairs that...
...probably climb an average of 9¢, to 50¢ per gal. Home heating fuel is expected to almost double in price, to 40¢ or more. Kerosene, diesel oil and jet fuel will all climb proportionately. Rising fuel costs will increase the price of electric power. Altogether, soaring fuel prices will pump $8 billion to $10 billion of pure inflation into the economy. Still, there is a limit to what consumers will pay. Even without Government restrictions, higher prices will force many Americans to forgo some of their wasteful ways: the long, speedy, aimless car trips; round-the-clock air" conditioning...
