Don't Shoot The Piano Player In Wartime Retail Critique
A frontiersman saloon slogan is used to frame the modern retail scene. Prices have surged and shirts rose from 1.95 to 3.50 while groceries double, yet retailers argue they earn smaller profits and cannot always supply desired items. They point to wartime efforts to hold prices, curb hoarding, and fairly allocate scarce goods, urging consumers to recognize ongoing public spirit.

The Lamp from Standard Oil of New Jersey says even if oil and gas reserves run dry, the U S could meet high grade gasoline demand for 3000 years using half of coal reserves. It notes 1965 gasoline use near 1 billion barrels annually and coal reserves about 8.2 trillion tons. Coal potential is 3.7 trillion barrels if half is converted, with coal-to-fuel synthesis already long term and gas synthesis advancing, yielding premium gasoline and industrial alcohols.

Russian masses versus leaders shape of Soviet Union
The piece contrasts ordinary Russians, eager for peace, with a ruling elite that governs through the Politburo and a selective Communist party.
