...fast, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion bbl. of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America's energy problems. The NRDC further claims that ANWR's total output would amount to no more than a six-month supply of oil for the U.S.--far too little to have a long-term impact on prices. And consumers could wait up to a decade to reap any benefits, because...
...Which is not to suggest the Fed sat on its hands Wednesday. The half-point cut, thoroughly expected by the markets, did spark a "buy-the-rumor-sell-the-news" mini-slump, but clearly this was not the abject disappointment that a quarter-point drop in the bucket would have been, and the next month should be relatively happy one on the Street.

Most of the Crimson's shots came under the basket, where Harvard could not buy a bucket. While Ides, Lee and Tubridy combined to shoot 17-for-21, or 81 percent, the rest of the Crimson team shot 8-for-34, or 23.5 percent...
