Don Oakley argues Saudi Arabia faces limits in boosting output to support a 5 percent rise while other OPEC members push for up to 15 percent. He warns that price gains will force renewed energy conservation and alternative energy investments as long term petroleum scarcity looms. He notes Western pressure on Israel as a condition for concessions and questions the net benefit to U.S. energy consumers.

Coffee price surge and tea steadiness alter American beverage habits
The National Coffee Association notes green coffee prices have jumped 218 percent since 1975, with upcoming 20 cent per pound increases likely to reach consumers early next year. Coffee consumption dropped from 11.1 pounds per person in 1967 to about nine in 1975 while tea stayed around eight pounds. London tea and cocoa prices hit record highs, and USDA economists expect coffee output to rebound only by 1979-80, amid beliefs that reduced coffee use may be healthier.
