...heightened sensitivities, for the second time in a month a high public official has displayed a remark able lack thereof. The first offender had been the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General George Scratchley Brown, with his remarks about Israeli and Jewish influence that sounded anti-Semitic (TIME, Nov. 25). This time it was Agriculture Secretary Earl Lauer Butz, who in ten ill-chosen words managed to insult both Italians and Catholics everywhere.

Last week he said that his government had indeed decided to lower the price by 40? per bbl., in a move designed to "take from the oil companies and give to the consumer." However enticing that Robin Hoodish remark might seem to suffering consumers, the consequences promise to be different from what they would expect. The cost of oil to the major companies -and to their customers-stands to rise about 50? per bbl., and the big winners will turn out to be the Arab producers...
