"Conservation of gasoline in the U.S. should be pushed a bit faster and further than market prices alone have done," says James McKie, professor of economics at the University of Texas.

At $75 a day, including instruction, equipment and dinners of prime rib and smoked turkey, the ranch is half the price of similar downhill digs. But half price...
THERE'S A NEW SHOW on prime time this season about the FBI By all accounts it's pretty tame stuff--the basic shoot-out, book em Danno approach to television police drama. There's nothing wrong with such shows (at least compared to what they compete with except that they have so little to do with the way the FBI actually works Garrow's book, on the other hand, although perhaps too well-written and well-documented, would make an excellent pilot episode for Hoover's FBI.
