...presidential push will surely add to gasohol's growing popularity in Washington. Prodded by promoters, Congress last fall passed a law exempting the fuel from the 4?-per-gal. federal tax on gasoline.

At a time when the end of the baby boom spells a declining applicant pool, the school's applications have jumped 25% in two years. With good reason. Brown works hard to sell itself.

...reaches the sky there. So they better be careful. They have South Yemen on their border, and in South Yemen there are already Cubans. So they shouldn't behave so haughtily toward everybody, including Israel. They have all that oil, but they cannot drink it. They have to sell that oil to get those billions of petrodollars.
