...rowers are also rivals for a handful of seats on the boat. The same dilemma occurs in business. Co-workers have to cooperate to succeed while competing with one another for promotions, resources and the attention of superiors. To ease the tension, the Cambridge rowers relied on humor, typically crude and black. When that failed, De Rond acted as a mediator. "Part of the trick," he relates, "is simply getting people to talk...
...that Saudi Arabia can increase its output to even 15 million bbl. a day is remote. Even maintaining its current production rate for an indefinite period of time is hardly a certainty. The Ghawar, Abqaiq and Berri fields (which still make up about 90% of Saudi Arabia's light crude) now pump oil from water-injection wells--essentially the low-hanging fruit. Once that ends, oil production in those key fields will decline, and the declines could be steep. The two other giant fields producing lesser-quality oil are subject to this same risk. Quantifying the timing and the magnitude...
There is only one possible complaint about this scene. Clark’s execution of Big Daddy is flawless—he is every inch the crude-mouthed monarch of his family—but he has not quite acquired the Southern accent.

...Egyptian bowls plays well off the Hokusai print beneath. The objects are well displayed throughout. Many, such as the ubiquitous lead-glazed plates and platters, hang on the walls with the two-dimensional paper works, while others can be found distributed in cases. A plate by Picasso featuring a crude fish with an unsightly abscess of an eye confronts the viewer entering the second gallery. The cases utilize mirrors to good effect. For instance, a circular mirror reveals the black silhouette of an ancient athlete on the bottom of a Greek oil flask while another makes all of a three...
