Restic came out of this year's training camp confident in his choice of Burke St. John. The senior from Chappaqua, New York, is not particularly big; and there was some question as the season opened as to whether he had the arm to exploit the talents of split end Rich Horner...
...Castro said that some Cuban workers, particularly in the service industries where performance is difficult to evaluate, have responded to the lack of immediate material incentives by simply goofing off: waitresses shuffle their feet while customers wait, and bus drivers omit stops. Despite the fact that some continue to exploit the system, Cubans are proud that they have "reclaimed their country" from the American interests that have dominated the region since 1898.

This time the earth shakes with 45-ton drilling cranes and six-cylinder Cat loaders constructing skyscrapers of polished granite, cold steel and gleaming glass. As the world price of oil rockets, energy firms are converging on Denver to exploit the surrounding area's resources. With the Administration's proposal to pour out billions in Government money to create synthetic fuel industries, the rush stands to become a stampede. Even if Congress allocates only a fraction of the subsidies that Jimmy Carter calls for, Denver could benefit largely...
