Officials accuse oil firms of engineering a shortage to pressure regulators while industry leaders admit high exploration costs hinder supply.

NBCs Bonanza remains strong season after season with human drama and measured action. Sunday night the show attempted a mild comedy spoof of The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight. Three would be gunmen botch every move and end up missing targets, creating farcical chaos in a western setting.
