Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson has never been one to linger too long shaking hands. He is a deliberative man, who campaigns in short bursts, and enjoys his private time as much as anyone. So when he finished speaking here Wednesday night, in the cramped back room of a restaurant, he never stopped working his way to the exit door. A few minutes and a couple of posed photographs later, he was back on the bus for another long drive through another Iowa snowstorm...

Some of Matheson's TV fables - the Twilight Zone story about the gremlin on the airplane wing, the Trilogy of Terror jape about a Zuni fetish doll chasing Karen Black around her apartment - linger at the base of many a viewer's spine, three or four decades after they were first aired.

StatoilHydro is operating in a market that has changed drastically since oil was first struck off the coast of Norway in the late 1960s. After waves of mergers in the U.S. and Europe, and with the growing dominance of nationally owned energy companies worldwide, the oil and gas industry is increasingly ruled by a handful of giants. Though StatoilHydro leads the world in offshore extraction, it's dwarfed by diversified behemoths like BP, ExxonMobil...
