...filtered smoke out of the air. Luckier fans had "Spacettes" in gold lamé skirts and cowboy boots to guide them to their reserved seats ($2.50 to $3.50), their choice of three restaurants and a private club that offered everything from "king size roast prime eye of beef" ($5.50) to that old Texas standby, son-of-a-gun stew ($2.50).

The Council, which operates by majority vote, spends most of its time bickering. When it does make a decision, the effect is severely limited by autonomous state agencies that exert an enormous influence on the nation's economy.
