...next 50 years. Economist Marshall Goldman of Wellesley College maintains in his book The Enigma of Soviet Petroleum: Half Empty or Half Full? that the Soviets will actually increase production of energy by 2% to 3% a year through 1985 and possibly more in the years afterward. Most experts believe that the Soviet Union will eventually solve the difficult problems of extracting its reserves. In a Communist command economy, Soviet managers are able to bulldoze important national priority projects, like energy development, through normal roadblocks...

Kennedy was running for President, about whether his loyalty to the church could conceivably conflict with his duty to the country. Priests, of course, are bound by vows of obedience to church authorities...
