...Which it may. Wall Street heavyweight Goldman Sachs raised the specter of oil at $100 per bbl. even before hurricanes Katrina and Rita disrupted supply lines and briefly pushed oil past $70 at summer's end. Some investors clearly believe Goldman's story: cash flowing into energy-related stock mutual funds this year has reached $6 billion--already more than twice last year's total. These funds now have assets of $21 billion, up from $3 billion just three years ago, according to fund-research firm AMG Data...

The Japanese Prime Minister does not have anything rivaling the independent military powers that the U.S. President and many other heads of government possess. For example, although Koizumi orchestrated Japan's missions to the Indian Ocean and Iraq, each required...
...South Africa,'' De Klerk told the audience at the Nobel awards ceremony. From the same platform, Mandela proclaimed, ''We can today even set the dates when all humanity will join together to celebrate one of the outstanding victories of our century.'' That victory was not easily won, and the mutual enmity between Mandela and De Klerk may be due in part to battle fatigue. There is another reason. Both men knew that their collaboration would, if successful, lead to political rivalry between them. De Klerk the incumbent and Mandela the challenger are now active candidates for the presidency of South...
