I was in New York City during the early-mid 70s. I was granted a 
fellowship for one year while I lectured at Fordham University. I 
remember well the US was in the middle of the OPEC oil embargo. The good 
folks of Texas (who at that time had plenty of their own oil) made 
popular a bumper sticker that read:"Drive a Cadillac and freeze a 
Yankee". It's hard to have sympathy for people who possess attitudes 
like that.
