When a new yak dung expert was needed, Harvard raised its glance from its teacup and and cast a look to the horizon, indulgently regarding the faculties of other universities before raiding them for their academic stars. Often enough those bush-league sluggers were only too happy to escape Madison, or Berkeley, or Chicago--places where nice tweeds were hard to find...

At the port of Fujairah, near the mouth of the Persian Gulf, Harbor Master Roger Turnbull begins each day in his control tower by counting the empty ships that appear on the horizon in their almost futile search for cargo to carry. One morning this month he counted 55, then two days later, 69. Says he: "They drift in during the night, and when we wake up, they're just sitting there waiting...
