Ronstadt also skillfully handles songs that are more challenging to interpret. An excellent arrangement and some strong vocal accompaniment by Andrew Gold and Kenny Edwards supplement Ronstadt's wide ranging but perfectly controlled performance on "Many Rivers to Cross," a rather clumsily-worded song that could easily be a bore. Ronstadt has never been more relaxed and poised than in "Tracks of My Tears," an unremarkable retread recorded by performers ranging from Smokey Robinson to Aretha Franklin to Johnny Rivers. Her subtle interpretation infuses it with a genuine but understated pathos. The song is striking proof of Ronstadt's artistic...
...commission noted, the deal was negotiated out of desperation by Southern California Gas Co. (SoCal Gas), which is urgently searching for new sources to supplement its dwindling supplies. Beginning probably in October and continuing through 1982, SoCal Gas will levy a 50? monthly surcharge on the average household; the bite could rise to $2.50. Industrial users, of course, will pay much more-depending on the amount of gas they consume. The utility will periodically turn over the proceeds, which ultimately will amount to $313 million, to Atlantic Richfield Co. (Arco), the nation's ninth largest petroleum company. Arco will...
...Hollis of the Yard (Richard Johnson) struggle off to her left. Now, times are hard, and there is continuing debate over whether the royal family requires a larger allowance on which to subsist.

Washington had no budget to supplement his annual salary of $25,000. The current White House has an operating budget of $1,695,000-but that is just the beginning for today's President. He has an annual salary of $200,000, plus a personal expense allowance of $50,000 a year. Other departmental budgets also help cover presidential expenses. For example, if Ford gives a dinner for Britain's Prime Minister Harold Wilson, the State Department foots the bill for the state dinner. In addition, such expenses as the operation of Air Force One, which Ford uses...
...hope is that higher prices for new gas would trigger enough new drilling to arrest the decline in proven reserves by the 1980s, when other forms of gas, notably illogically named synthetic natural gas (which is manufactured from coal) and imported liquefied natural gas could supplement the real stuff, though at a very high cost. For the U.S., the cold reality is that the era of plentiful low-cost natural gas is ending quite as painfully as did the bygone age of cheap, abundant...
