After experiencing a 600-per-cent increase in its gas bill over the past five years, Crystal City up and decided it couldn't and wouldn't take it any more, and its 8000 residents defied the gas king of south and central Texas, LoVaca Gathering Company.

...that means I can imbibe alcoholic beverages in every state and rent a car. But I'm scared. I read last week in Newsweek (and nowhere else) that a Brigham Young University professor has found that over 40 per cent of stiffs kick within three months of their birthdays. Wouldn't you be apprehensive if after Sunday your chances of going to you final resting place (Fathers Six) were going to increase three-fold?
