"Yes, but it's not legal," said the presiding judge, resplendent in a black robe trimmed with artificial ermine. "No, but it's good," answered Bert...
...Saudi and Iranian governments have talked of shaving the price a bit, but the most optimistic estimate of how much they might cut is 10%. A reduction of that size would not give the oil importers any significant financial relief; some bankers even think that it would do more harm than good because it could discourage conservation and development of alternate sources of energy such as nuclear power.

The streams of particles shot off during these episodes are already known to disturb the earth's magnetic field and disrupt communications. Astrophysicist Walter Orr Roberts, former director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, thinks that they...
