Whatever the reason, the gathering of the 13-nation cartel that controls about two-thirds of the non-Communist world's crude oil eventually dissolved into a Mad Hatter's tea party of illogic. The sharply rising oil prices imposed by O.P.E.C. in the course of the past year have been largely responsible for spiraling international inflation.

Any bright preadolescent can answer most of the questions-High Rollers recently required a contestant to give the location of the Boston Tea Party-in the privacy of home, away from the pressure of the studio. The fantasy that one could do well up there if he (or she) just had the price of a ticket to New York or Los Angeles must spring eternal...
