...minister described last week's hastily arranged gathering as "just a meeting of old friends." But as everyone present knew, the coy assessment by Mani Said al-Oteiba of the United Arab Emirates understated the gravity of the situation.

That bit of doggerel is the opening stanza of a poem written by Mani Said al Oteiba, Oil Minister of the United Arab Emirates, to commemorate the marathon twelve-day meeting in London of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries that ended last week. The minister's lament reflected the mood of desperation that led OPEC to slash its official bench-mark price from $34 per bbl. to $29, the first cut in the group's 23-year history...

...Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, the time had come for another showdown. Oil ministers from eight of the 13 OPEC countries gathered last week in London's elegant Grosvenor Square at a five-story, red-brick Georgian mansion where the delegate from the United Arab Emirates, Sheik Mani Said al-Oteiba, maintains his residence. The meeting had an urgent mission: agreement on a pricing pact and a set of production quotas that would keep the cost of oil from tumbling uncontrollably. Over the previous weekend Saudi Arabia and its Persian Gulf neighbors had issued an ultimatum to the rest...
