...Since new oilfields and copper mines take years to get into full production, lower investment today causes tighter supply down the road. At the same time, there is every reason to believe that emerging markets such as China and India will continue to be ever more voracious consumers of iron ore, oil and food as their economies get bigger and their citizens richer. Palm-oil prices, for example, have been rising of late partly because demand from India, with its population of 1 billion, is holding up. In March, China imported a record amount of iron ore and coal, while...
...bacon sandwiches and took pills by the fistful. He was a reckless sailor who crossed three oceans--his terrified crews nicknamed him Captain Crunch. He abominated seat belts, and in his later life he developed the unnerving habit of urinating out the open doors of cars going at full speed. Buckley, an icon of the modern conservative movement, died last year at 82 from a heart attack. It's amazing that he lasted as long...
...only the most recent episode in a series of gaffes and sour notes by the Pope. He seems simply to have forgotten Jewish concerns on a range of decisions regarding liturgy, sainthood and historical interpretation. In the case of SSPX, there is a distinct possibility that he knew full well he might offend Jews but went ahead anyway...

In 2006, for instance, he preached that in choosing 12 Apostles, Jesus was summoning the 12 tribes of Israel to be "reunited in a new covenant [Christianity], the full and perfect accomplishment of the old." There are harmless ways to interpret this. But it might also help explain why Benedict refused to delete the "conversion" wording from the Latin Mass...
