If you’re wondering why Congress doesn’t do what Americans want it’s because Congress doesn’t represent America. It represents the Predator Class.

Insurance companies are hitting working people everywhere. Bogus out-of-pocket expenses are just one way.

That’s what I’m running to change — and to bring some North Carolina common sense to Washington.

Sounds really bad without context. With context, it’s…less bad?

STAR WARS
Twentieth Century-Fox is currently completing the film-
ing of their latest science fiction blockbuster, Star Wars.
Without any parts of the film even previewed yet, some
7
LOO ENTRIEcritics have already heralded Star Wars as,
" . . . every-
thing in science fiction you've always wanted to see on the
screen but knew no one would ever put there."
Star Wars is written and directed by George Lucas, the
man responsible for THX 1138 and American Graffiti. Pro-
ducer Gary Kurtz, working with an $8,000,000 budget, has
taken Star Wars on location to both Tunisia and London.
Star Wars is about a galaxy wide civil war set in the dis
tant future when Earth and its past have been entirely
forgotten. Sir Alec Guinness plays an old renegade who
was a great general in the first Galactic Wars. Mark
Hamill plays the film's starring role, Luke Starkiller-a
young adventurer.
Stuart Freeman, the man who designed the spectacular
ape costumes for 2001: A Space Odyssey, has created
several alien designs and makeups for Star Wars' large
cast. In addition to its basic science-fiction format, Star
Wars will also contain elements of fantasy.
Star Wars reportedly won't be ready for release until
early 1977, but for those of you who can't wait that long
to find out more, Ballantine Books plans to put out a
novelization of the movie in bookstores sometime this fall.

Wow, this is a cool find

Geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East once again shows that reliance on volatile oil and gas exposes economies to price shocks.

Renewables, electrification and storage offer more stable long term energy costs and stronger energy security.
