...couldn't be reached for comment. A spokesman for Chevron, which has the biggest private-sector involvement in the consortium, declined to comment and a spokesman for Mobil, which also has a stake, said the firm "does not speculate on rumors." Fretting Being so political isn't always a boon. Russia, for example, subsidizes some Rosneft oil shipments from its Vankor fields by rail to China, even though it could sell the same oil to Europe without the subsidies, which are needed to bring down the high transportation costs. In that case, the desire to improve political ties with China...
...We’ll see what happens with Harvard students. Bottom line: Hilles office space is both inferior to and more inconveniently located than Yard space.

Applying Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s famous metric, the administration may well be generating more terrorists than it is stopping. But there are two other consequences to U.S. interrogation policy that are less frequently noted...
...building of a social programming endowment needs to be made clear. In the interim, the UC will have roughly $70,000 extra to spend that previously went toward CLC social programming. We are glad that House Comittee’s and student groups are bound to benefit from this boon. But so long as the long term funding of the social programming board remains unclear, the reliability of this additional funding should also remain an open question, so as not to surreptitiously amount to a backdoor termbill hike in the future.The creation of an independent social programming board...
