Typical of the Surgicenter's cases is that of Andrew Dunham, a blond, 23-year-old Phoenix truck driver whose severely injured finger became badly infected and required surgery. Had his doctor chosen to operate in a hospital, Dunham would probably have been kept at least one night, perhaps longer. Instead, the surgeon-one of more than 300 doctors in the Phoenix area who occasionally use the Surgicenter-directed him to the facility at 10:45 one morning last week. Half an hour later, he was wheeled into an operating room and given a general anesthetic. In just...
...when lightning bolts struck the system, Con Ed failed to employ emergency measures in time to shed sufficient load, did not put into operation all of its stand-by generating units and did not tell its customers quickly enough to cut their use of power.

Since President-elect Carter has proposed the same thing, there is a good chance that the FPC will indeed disappear one of these days, unloved and unlamented. But unless Congress also resolves the question of whether to choose low prices or plentiful supplies, an energy superagency would only be handed...
