...faithful never to resist unlawful tyranny, never to prize any values over sex and money, never to disturb fate? Did anyone stop to doubt that F-15 planes were the answer to all our worries about "Islam"?

There are, of course, uncertainties and risks. Though economists are willing enough to guess, none can say with confidence what the ultimate inflationary impact of decontrol will be. Nor is it entirely clear just how much decontrol will increase domestic oil production.

Eddie Crowder, the university's athletic director, refused to say what was going on. Colorado Governor Richard Lamm was furious. "The public is being treated like mushrooms-kept in the dark and spread with manure," he fumed. Two days later, the university's regents revealed that Colorado had acquired Fairbanks because of an extraordinary out-of-court settlement: the indefatigable Flatirons had agreed to pay $200,000 to the Patriots in return for dropping the suit...
