...national security from outside aggression and to provide a stable currency for our commerce and trade." Very well. But such a definition omits the "general welfare" clause. And in practical terms, Reagan undoubtedly does not intend to dismantle the N.L.R.B., Social Security, unemployment insurance and other such encroachments on pure freedom that are here to stay. So, what does he mean...
...When I use that term extremism, I mean a kind of literal translation of some of the regulations. For instance, you may find a demand for 100% purity of water. Now the streams you are turning that water into are not 100% pure, and in many instances the cost of getting up to 100% may be several times greater than the cost of getting to 95%.

...that could almost be Elizabethan, rockers that still sound as if they come from the distant future, and it was hard to peg all that invention to any single source.

Gasohol is currently being marketed through some 10,000 service stations owned or supplied by Texaco, Mobil, Amoco, Phillips and a few smaller independent petroleum companies. It is unlikely, however, that Americans will turn to pure alcohol in place of gasoline. The U.S. does not have a surplus production of sugar. Corn, the U.S.'s most plentiful crop, contains far less potential energy per ton than sugar. Moreover, any large boost in alcohol production from corn might drive up already surging domestic food prices...
