...consumption of the size that would result from a 50? per gal. tax would pay important dividends both domestically and internationally. In the U.S. it would amount to an immediate and forceful warning to all Americans that energy conservation is now a national imperative. Overseas it would help loosen the world market for petroleum, make it at least somewhat more difficult for OPEC to raise prices, reduce prices on the spot market and send a signal to the U.S.'s increasingly skeptical allies that the nation is exercising leadership to curb energy use. Even with a 50? tax, Americans...

Comments Psychiatrist Domeena Renshaw of Loyola's Sexual Dysfunction Training Clinic outside Chicago: "If there were...
...last week's arguments, the plaintiffs' lawyers maintained that the 10% set-aside was wrong because Congress should order quotas only when it had made "detailed findings" of past discrimination, which it had not done in the case of construction contracts. Moreover, they insisted, the size of the set-aside itself was arbitrary. "Why 10%?" asked one of the attorneys. "Why not 4%-the number of black contractors in the United States?" Fullilove himself is fearful about the lack of restraint on quota setting. A 10% set-aside might conceivably be tolerable, he says, but the problem...
