...expected to vanish altogether in a few weeks. One bearded, fatigue-jacketed student leader said that "action cells" have penetrated every university in the country, and that contact between students and workers is being maintained.

To pay for them, B.P. has worked out a scheme that is fancier than Sinclair's Dino Dollars game. Because of the weakness of the pound, Her Majesty's government would never approve payment of $300 million in sterling. So B.P. plans to pay in dollars over a six-year period beginning in 1972. That is just about when...
