North Sea oil boom nears as Schoners eye future profits
The North Sea oil rush is expected to begin this summer with early output from Norway and Britain. Analysts foresee up to 40 billion barrels total reserves, with Britain projected to pump about 3.4 million barrels daily by the 1980s, while Norway may reinvest profits into social needs. Offshore drilling faces high costs, risks, and long shifts, but regional economies in Scotland and Norway anticipate big gains and a shift in local life as experts warn the full field could take about 23 years to exhaust all North Sea oil.

The American Society for Psychical Research reported $275,453 spent on studying near death visions in the U S and India without success.
