...Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which comprises the world's 24 leading non-Communist nations, also issued a grim forecast, and on an even larger scale: a rise to $26 per bbl. would cut nearly 1% off its members' economic growth, reducing it to stagnation at best, and push OECD inflation up from an earlier projected 9% to at least 10%. Largely as a consequence of the oil increases, the organization now expects unemployment in its member nations to rise from just under 17 million to a full 20 million...
...order highlighted a recent trend: U.S. lines are continuing to buy American-made planes, while some big non-American carriers are starting to switch to the Airbus. Historically, Air France and Lufthansa bought Boeing but, although they continue to acquire 747s, neither line has ordered any of the new mid-range Boeings since the Airbus A310 was introduced. Among the reasons: Airbus is more fuel efficient than the 767 for trips under 500 miles and better suited to shorter European distances. Except for the planes that it sold to Eastern two years ago, Airbus has yet to crack...

Defending the show, the Rev. Richard Gilbert of Princeton Theological Seminary, one of several religious consultants called in by the network, says, "There is much in Mary and Joseph that is invented. There is nothing that could not have happened...
While the number of languid non-believers in America is legion, the number of aggressive atheists is small, probably no larger than the 65,000 claimed for Archatheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair's mailing list. The number of atheists willing to go to court about religion is smaller still. One of these is a South Dakota laborer named Roger Florey...
