That is rather small by Middle Eastern standards-the oil reserves would supply only two years of Mideast production-but large by almost any others. For example, the North Sea deposits probably exceed the 10 billion bbl. of oil estimated to lie under Alaska's North Slope...
...also watches the stock market. That is not surprising, considering his wealth. Solti's combined earnings from concerts and recordings now probably exceed a quarter-million dollars a year.

The Administration looked to the Supreme Court to get around that legal scruple, but last week the court refused to review a lower-court decision upholding the law. Now the pipeline proposal will be bucked to Congress, where it may create...
