...above average for this time of year, according to the Energy Department. The major Gulf Coast pipelines were up and running by the end of last week, albeit at reduced capacity. The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, the nation's only deep-water tanker port, unloaded its first cargo since Aug. 27. Still, some analysts predict that disruptions in the supply chain mean motorists will be in for several more months of $3 gas or worse. "The only thing we can hope for is an amazing amount of conservation," says Houston oil analyst Matt Simmons...

Then, last month, came the U.S. explosion that Strauss described as being twice the estimated size. It became famous prematurely because an unexpected wind shift showered a Japanese fishing boat with radioactive ash. But the March 1 explosion (and the one that followed on March 26) had even more serious implications: in the global game of the scientists, where scores...
