...state where oil is king, Reagan also lambasted the bill signed by Ford in 1975 to roll back the price of domestic oil and to remove the $2-per-bbl. tariff on imported oil. Reagan called for a repeal of the bill and an end to all price controls so that the U.S. would produce more oil and rely less on imports from the Middle East. "How many Texans will lose their jobs?" he demanded. "How many Texas plants will be closed during the next oil embargo?" In the oil-rich Panhandle, some producers felt betrayed by the President...

It would be extraordinary but possible for the Pope to "repeal" the birth control encyclical, and Greeley thinks it must be done to halt U.S. church "deterioration." As for the schools, he expects further dwindling of enrollment unless the bishops let the laity take control of fund raising and administration. Says Greeley: "If I were a bishop and I saw this data, I'd call a panic meeting." Archbishop Joseph L. Bernardin, head...
