America’s Energy Dream Under Pressure On Holiday Roads
A veteran columnist laments American gas use and foreign oil reliance during a long holiday weekend. He notes imports rising to 45 percent of U.S. oil, domestic production falling for six years, and energy policy failures from Congress and the Ford administration. He cites OPEC price fights, Alaska oil plans, and dwindling natural gas supplies as signs of an uncertain energy future. The piece questions where the nation is headed and criticizes Washington for not knowing the path forward.

Williston Fish’s Fantastical Last Will and Testament
A Chicago lawyer and later railroad executive Williston Fish, age 39, drafts a poetic fictitious will in a park in May 1897. His document bequeaths to children landscapes of daisies and dandelions, stars, rivers, and endless play, while granting lovers, boys, and girls their imagined realms and memories. Fish later prospers, writes widely, and dies at 81 in Illinois, leaving uncertainly whether he left a real will.
