...were shocked, but eventually agreed in principle, although the exact scope of the resource rights remains to be spelled out. "We are satisfied so far," Motzfeldt told TIME Correspondent Lee Griggs in Godthaab. "But we will not be pushovers for outsiders, Danes included. It is an exciting time.

The idea was to stop companies from getting new-oil prices by drilling new wells into old reservoirs after 1973. The companies are accused of, among other things, ignoring this provision whenever they actually struck new oil in an old-oil field. Instead of selling it as old oil, they...
