...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...
...been the Communists' goal ever since Ho Chi Minh drove the French out of the North in 1954. Also characteristically, the victors took no chances with the outcome of the Assembly election. In Saigon, local party chiefs lined up families, 20 or so at a time, for roll call, then marched eligible voters off to the polls, where their political choice amounted to striking a few less favored names from a list of preselected candidates.

But for the ear accustomed to rock and roll's strong second beat emphasis and generally faster pacing, the reggae rhythm often seems sluggish and some how off. Strange, since the Stones much understand this, but they positioned the number directly following "Hand of Fate," one of the most hard driving, traditional rock cuts on the album...
...flight has drawn even more attention to the woes of the state corporations. Just a few weeks ago, for example, Finsider, a state group of 24 steel-producing companies, came under fire for continuing to roll out steel all last year despite a global glut. The reason was to keep employment high, but the result was staggering losses that no private company could afford...
