Harvard would get the first bucket of the extra period, but that would be its last lead of the game. With the help of key offensive rebounds, Yale went on a 15-4 run and never looked back...
...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...
After three bad hair days back in 1992, Catherine Bertini finally gave in. She leaned over the tub in her Rwanda hotel room--the one with shot-out windows and no running water--and allowed her husband to pour a bucket of dirty water over her head.

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. After taking back that roundly criticized (mostly in hindsight) May half-point hike in January, Greenspan has now done it again, lopping off another half-point, and stands ready to pull a February surprise just like January...
