...more than a year, a sort of rough neck regatta has been churning the wa ters of the Gulf of Mexico off Loui siana. It is composed of workboats, tugs, barges and even helicopters, and is crewed by hard-hat engineers, welders and derrick workers. Along the Gulf, a group of companies have strung out 1,000 miles of pipeline in a race for some of the richest U.S. natural-gas deposits...
Beyond this first investment package, Ari has other plans-perhaps an oil concession, or shipyards in the Gulf of Corinth.

So far the students have taken enthusiastically to the challenge...

Energetic and idealistic students, alienated from the older generation by an extraordinarily wide gulf in manners and interests and offended by the plethora of human suffering, were drawn to the side of change. Where they were frustrated by the massive anonymity of the government and the unmanageability of the social system, they could strike out at the more vulnerable University...
