...they are flexing this growing muscle. Early this month, a group of 28 key conservatives-members of Congress, business executives, party activists and even a labor representative-met at a resort on Maryland's Eastern Shore to map out strategy leading up to 1976. They did not agree on a blueprint for action, but as former USIA Director Frank Shakespeare put it, "You could see ideas fermenting there, people considering things they would have considered heretical two or three years ago, asking what is the right thing to do with respect to the country and conservative principles."

Grand Policy. The main purpose of the three-day summit, held in the isolated beach resort of Club des Pins outside Algiers, was to fashion a united policy for the cartel for a grand negotiation with consumer nations, perhaps this summer. Though much of the OPEC rhetoric was as blustery as ever, there were clear indications that the oil producers were ready to bargain with the countries that have been struggling to pay for the fourfold increase in oil prices over the past 1½ years...

...words. The result was a fragment that would tantalize posterity. Though it jangled with a bumptious satire reminiscent of Austen's youthful burlesques, it seemed to project something both ambitious and new. When it was finally published in 1925 under the title Sanditon-named for the seaside resort town of its setting-E.M. Forster saluted the prescient way the book portrayed nature as "a geographic and economic force." Virginia Woolf said that if completed, Sanditon would have shown Austen to be a forerunner of Henry James and Proust...
