Spencer Abraham, the newly installed U.S. Energy Secretary, admitted Monday that he probably ought to read up on energy. 'I know energy is really important, and that there was a big crisis back in the '70s, but other than that, I'm in the dark,' Abraham said. 'I was hoping to be appointed Secretary of Transportation, which I know a lot more about, but that one was already taken.' The former Michigan senator said he plans to go to the library Thursday to look up 'Energy' in The World Book Encyclopedia.
