Stobaugh, Yergin and their Project colleagues avoid this trap. They rule out natural gas as a solution, arguing that the deregulation of interstate prices will not make substantial additions to U.S. gas reserves. Coal's contribution in the short term is uncertain because uncertain demand for the fuel by electrical utilities has made the railroads, coal's key transportation link, hesitant to upgrade their service. Moreover, opposition to the environmental hazards of coal usage (which include black lung disease, the scarring of the land by strip mining, and air, water and thermal pollution) cause the Project to condemn coal...

...sportswriter and jazz critic for the Toulouse paper Dépêche du Midi, and his wife Régine venture into Central Park. Apparently expecting the tranquillity of Paris' Luxembourg Gardens, they confront instead bongo drums, tape decks, roller skaters, family picnics and baseball games. "Trap décontracté," says Mme. Bonnemaison, disgusted. Too relaxed. "Everyone does just what he wants!"

BOND HOOKS UP with CIA agent Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) to prevent Drax from dominating the world. Although Chiles lacks the believability of a Barbara Bach, she proves herself fatihful to the 007 credo by quickly falling for the British Spy after he rescues them both from the iron-trap mouth of Jaws. ("Do you know him?" she asks naively when she first sights the killer. "His name is Jaws," 007 cooly answers, "He kills people.")
