...overwhelmed by a nagging feeling of guilt that lingered after the arrest. We’re lucky enough to attend a university that pays such attention to our comfort. Every undergraduate here has to admit the College does more than enough to keep us safe from hunger, cold, and fear every day. When Harvard protects its property from outsiders, it ensures for students and faculty the availability of a quiet and safe space to live, work and study, protected from the intrusion of the outside world. For that outside world (which includes Macleod), it ensures only strictly-enforced exclusion. We?...

They have voted three times since last fall against raising production, despite direct appeals for relief to Naimi from President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. That's partly because they fear they could some day run dry of oil, leaving future generations without the key source of Arab wealth. "It's understandable," says Fatih Birol, chief economist of the International Energy Agency, a Paris-based watchdog organization for big oil-consuming countries. "Oil-producing countries have policies not to run down their reserves." And that...
