...price of gasoline. Ruling on a suit to prevent Jimmy Carter from imposing a 10? per gal. conservation fee on gasoline, U.S. District Judge Aubrey Robinson Jr. concluded that the President had exceeded his authority. If the decision is not overturned on appeal, Carter's already battered energy program will suffer further damage. In addition, the loss of $10.3 billion in anticipated revenues from the fee will tip the precariously balanced fiscal 1981 budget into...
...usual the Administration did not help its cause by a confused approach to the issue. "The program is rather Rube Goldbergian," concedes an administrative energy adviser. Because of the bewildering intricacy of energy regulations, there is no guarantee that the fee will apply only to gasoline. Oil companies might be able to increase the price of other petroleum products, like home heating oil, thus giving a nervous Congress further cause for election-year jitters. While the Administration claims the fee would save 100,000 bbl. of oil per day, skeptical industry analysts say the reduction would be closer...
...some measure to have altered the history of curatorship itself. Rubin, the Iron Chancellor of MOMA, has set new standards of detail and historical cogency within the museum, and the Picasso exhibit and its admirable catalogue reflect them at every point. It is a final vindication of a program started by Alfred Barr Jr., MOMA's first director, 50 years ago: the assumption that modernism, whose supreme exponent was Picasso, was as worthy of detailed and serious consideration as the culture of baroque Rome or quattrocento Florence...
...Psychologist Grant, this is another easy start for the Dr. Toni Grant Program, her daily talk show at KABC, Los Angeles. Over the next four hours, she will give on-the-spot advice to a stream of troubled callers-child abusers, rapists, baffled homosexuals, wife beaters and "pre-orgasmic" women. "It's a soap opera that educates," says Grant, 38, who studied at Vassar and Harvard and got a Ph.D. from Syracuse. It is also a vast financial success that has made Grant a well-paid star ("a median five-figure" salary) and draws an audience...
...accident that Grant's show runs opposite the afternoon TV soaps. Says Bruce Marr, who was KABC program director when Grant arrived in 1975: "People are tuning away from soap opera to listen to the radio shrinks because they can tune into the bedrooms of real people rather than just listen to actors." In fact, Grant's kaffeeklatsch counseling has been such a smash that stations around the country, particularly on the West Coast, are rushing to clone her. Marr, now at Seattle's KVI, has hired Jennifer James, a cultural anthropologist. Station KXRX in San Jose...
