...state supreme court in New York thanks to a libel suit filed against Prodigy, one of the Big Three online services. A Long Island financial firm claims it was unfairly accused of fraud on a Prodigy bulletin board.

"It was corroded and had holes all over it," says Mikhail Bernstein, an executive at a construction firm that was hired last August to replace the 19-year-old conduit. Local officials don't disagree. "We all know the pipeline should have been repaired," said Vyacheslav Bibikov, Vice President of the Komi republic, in a testy meeting with reporters last week. "There's no money for it."
