...trillion cu. ft.; the congressional budget office estimates an additional .7 to .8 trillion cu.ft. a year; consumer groups that favored the bill say no increase at all will occur. Both the Senate Energy Committee and DOE predict that by 1985 greater production of natural gas will save the nation 1.4 million bbl. a day in imported oil. Consumer groups deny there will be any such saving. Much depends, of course, on how innumerable lawyers interpret a bill that even they have trouble understanding. But at least, after 18 months, the Senate finally voted on a national plan to conserve...
Opponents of Long's measure were hastily trying over last weekend to make some basic changes. Ted Kennedy, for one, was seeking allies to keep the personal exemption at $750, a step that he figures will save $12 billion a year in federal revenues. That amount would then be redistributed to middle-and low-income taxpayers. The full Senate is expected to vote on the bill this week, and the House will have its turn next week. Despite his threats, Carter is not expected to veto the measure if some acceptable compromises are made. The public is calling...

In fact, there are only a few exceptions to this bizarre rule, among them Edward Murrow's better interviews and the lesser-known, but still timely film Come Back, Africa. Directed by Lionel Rogosin in 1959, Come...
...very remarkable is not the predictable plot line, but several unusual features of its making. First, of course, is the secrecy in which it was made. Rogosin, his crew, and the actors risked their "freedom" to making this film. Second, though none of the actors in the film (save one) was a professional at the time, the performances are by and large excellent. The only professional is Miriam Makeba, who is inserted in the film near the end--breaking up an intriguing political discussion--to sing a few of the songs that would make her famous just two or three...
