...reminded that the archangel Lucifer became a devil. Herein lies the wisdom and a caveat, that each man who is worthy of the respect of others must choose to be an angel or a devil by his acts or inaction, by his voice or reticence. Choose! Gideon Suleman Kaduna, Nigeria The Book vs. the Movie I don't see how Corliss could pick the movie version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire over the book [Dec. 26-Jan.2]. While I really liked the movie - it was fast and action-packed - none of the film adaptations of J.K. Rowling...
...traded on global markets, gas poses logistical problems. It can't be shipped unless it's cooled and liquefied. For now, 85% of the gas we use is produced domestically. The rest arrives by pipeline from Canada, except for about 1% imported from such countries as Trinidad and Nigeria by tankers carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG). That equation is shifting. Production in the U.S. has slipped, down an estimated 5% in 2005, largely but not entirely because of storm damage to facilities in the Gulf. Meanwhile, Canada is consuming more of the gas it produces, leaving less to export...

...behaving irresponsibly. And in the European Union, the biggest export market for Russian gas, officials said that reducing dependence on Russia and ensuring security of energy supplies are now top priorities. Measures under consideration include plans to diversify gas supplies, stock up on liquefied natural gas from Egypt, Nigeria and elsewhere, and develop alternative energy. "Europe needs a clear and more collective and cohesive policy on security of energy supply," said Andris Piebalgs, the E.U.'s Energy Commissioner. An unexpected winner after the Ukrainian fracas might be the nuclear-power industry. Some Germans are questioning plans in their country...
...Life Savers I was very impressed by your coverage of the Global Health crisis [Nov. 7], especially your article on Dr. Dora Akunyili, the director general of Nigeria's National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, and her work to combat the trade in counterfeit medicines, even at the risk of her own life. It is good for her to be recognized as the Global Health hero that she truly is. I appreciate her efforts as well as those of all the others fighting hard to eradicate the world's dangerous diseases.
