...China?s hunger for energy is growing more ravenous by the day, the study said; by 2025, the DOE estimates that China?s demand will more than double, to 14.2 million barrels of oil per day, and its imports will more than triple, to 10.7 million barrels per day. Even though China is aggressively diversifying its sources of supply, DOE says, by investing in Kazakhstan, Venezuela, Sudan, Iraq, Peru, Azerbaijan, Sudan and Indonesia, Iran is still likely to figure as one of its most dependable suppliers...
...Stripper Ergo...Rape?” (Apr. 12), Ashton R. Lattimore makes a commendable effort to address the disturbing cultural tendency to “explain” the crime and blame the rape victim. But the Duke lacrosse situation is not, thus far, a Jane Doe case. Lattimore’s concern—that the media firestorm has played a major role in discrediting the alleged victim, an exotic dancer—has been substantially outweighed by the thorough vilification of the ostensibly rich, white, privileged team members and the elitist university they represent.

Despite setbacks suffered by his 10,000-strong forces in skirmishes with ECOMOG troops, he vowed that he would not give up the fight. "Look here," he said, pointing to a map of Liberia.

...next day I was told that another "President," Prince Johnson, wanted to meet "one of those people who was with Taylor," and so I was taken the following day to his "executive mansion," which is located in an office building near the harbor. Parked outside was the late President Doe's silver Mercedes. Dressed in military fatigues, Johnson punctuated his pronouncements by waving a cigar in one hand and a can of beer in the other. Though his troops had occasionally fought alongside ECOMOG against the N.P.F.L., Johnson was nearly as hostile to the peacekeeping force...
