Dark Horses

Cynics who think that nothing good can issue from the United Nations may wish to revise that estimate on reading The Future Supply of Nature-Made Petroleum & Gas (Pergamon Press, Elmsford, N.Y. 10523).

Not that either cynics or naïfs are likely to rush out and buy a doorstopping book that runs to more than 1,000 pages, abounds in technical talk about petroleum geology, and retails for $40 a copy. But those who can be persuaded to obtain and read this UN- sponsored volume will find it a definitive answer to the contemporary funk about the presumed exhaustion of our fuel supplies.
