...companies are the biggest losers. They have invested $1.5 billion on the North Slope. Because the oil has not yet begun to flow out, the companies are losing $300 million to $400 million in annual revenues.

"At the very least, you have to have confidence. I have...
...versatile skier who ranks among the world's best at all three Alpine events. The brown-haired Oregon State coed swept to victory in both the downhill and the slalom at Sun Valley, beating Germany's Barbi Henneberger, one of Europe's best. Then at Mount Alyeska, she won the giant slalom...
