...slacks and polo shirts and had already had a few drinks. The two were notorious prowlers of the Kathmandu night-life circuit, regulars at the X-Zone nightclub and the Bakery Cafe, where they were at the center of a swirl of hip kids and young adults whose preferred mode of transportation is a Lexus SUV and whose favored intoxicant is locally processed hashish.

Yes, Dick Cheney's plan called for the construction of 1,300 power plants in the next 20 years - about one a week is the catchy statistic - but it also envisions 90 percent of those plants will be natural-gas-fired, the cleanest mainstream power source around. Yes, the Administration is more coal-fired-up than even the mildest environmentalist, but the only money the White House wants to actually spend on coal...
