25 Years Ago

From the May 2000 issue

* "Every time a fuel truck overturns and burns on the highway, there is renewed pressure to cease shipment of fuel by truck. Complainants fail to produce any alternative--are we to have pipelines or railroad spurs into every gas station?"

--R.W. Johnson, "The Energy Crisis &

How To Solve It"

* "A recent national poll...showed that 69 percent of Americans believe their government consistently lies to them--as compared with 35 percent who held this belief in 1972."

--Manuel S. Klausner, "Publisher's Notes"

* "Now, in 1975, the debate is over which national health insurance we'll get, not whether."

--Lynn Kinsky, "Waiting for Gulag"
