Though GE was pleased by the decision, it seems in no rush to exploit the bug commercially. Ronald Brooks, head of the GE environmental unit where Chakrabarty did his work, says that the company would entertain licensing agreements with those who want to develop the oil eater. But he adds that GE does not see a market big enough for it to become directly involved...
Others find such an approach shortsighted. They believe that the U.S. should help the Soviets to expand and exploit their fuel reserves. Says Theodore Shabad, a U.S. expert on Soviet natural resources: "It is not in our interests to create an energy problem for the Soviets; it is in our interest that they be self-sufficient." American attempts to deny the Soviets much-needed drilling technology have not been totally successful. After U.S. firms were stopped from making sales, the Soviets turned to Italian and French firms for the equipment...
Golf at Harvard is one of those sports "you have to do on your own," and besides forcing Greis to push herself into peak form, it also forced her to exploit all available opportunities herself.

The country is a patchwork of six nationalistic republics-plus two so-called autonomous provinces-that have their own languages, religions and cultures. The Soviets might try to exploit the traditional hostility between the Serbs and the Croats; together they constitute more than 60% of Yugoslavia's 22 million people. Another potential trouble spot is the southern province of Kosovo, the country's poorest region, where friction is developing between Serbs and the rapidly exploding ethnic Albanian population. Two months ago, 50 ethnic Albanians in Kosovo...
