...energy program and the fuel standards would adversely affect the economy-meaning, specifically, jobs for blacks. In its eight-page analysis of Carter's program, the N.A.A.C.P. argued that the White House had overemphasized conservation measures and had offered little or nothing to increase energy production. That stress, the organization charged, "reflects the absence of a black perspective" in drawing up the plan. If black unemployment is to be reduced, the N.A.A.C.P. went on, the nation's economy must grow rapidly. Since that requires more energy, oil and gas prices should be allowed to rise so that companies...

Later, the organization attacked new fuel economy standards for trucks that had been proposed by the Department of Transportation...
Initially, seismologists thought that the Palmdale uplifting was the result of tiny fissuring that occurs in rocks when they are subjected to great stress, expanding the volume of the rock. But the bulge appears much too large to be explained only by this effect, which is known as dilatancy and has already been used to make experimental earthquake predictions. Instead, scientists are leaning increasingly to the idea that other factors may be involved, notably a concept called elastic deformation, in which moving land masses snag against each other and force some of the earth's crust to roll...
...Hypnosis is a capacity for attentive, receptive concentration that is inherent in a person. Whatever it is in the brain that governs this capacity governs the degree of eye roll." Spiegel has also found that eye roll is connected to personality. The low scorers ("zeros" and "ones") tend to stress thinking over feeling and are wary, critical folk who love to control people and implement plans. The highly hypnotizable "fours" and "fives" generally feel rather than think. Though they can be very creative, they uncritically accept ideas, trends and leaders, and are strikingly childlike and gullible-in short, wide-eyed...
