...high revenues, this is not creating much hardship. Kuwait has slashed production by 70%, to a mere 650,000 bbl. daily, without difficulty.

...NEOCONSERVATIVE is a liberal who's been mugged." That's what our right-wing friends would have us believe, in the wake of the nation's tilt toward Republicana in the last two years.

After this the procession will march back to the Yard and will...
...City last week, yet another maneuver in the cause of restraint, was designed to ease fears of American military intervention in the Caribbean, and to try to get Mexico to help ease the crises in Nicaragua and El Salvador.

The desires for freedom, for enough food and for economic opportunity run stronger than ideology at every latitude. Soviet military might has cast its pall across the globe. It is the season...
