...clean up its act. New technologies allow wells to be clustered more closely together, with drilling done laterally below the surface--reducing the number of installations on the tundra. Pipelines are now built 5 ft. above the surface to allow animals to pass beneath. A truck leaking a pint of transmission fluid is treated as an oil spill, reported as such and laboriously cleaned up. Even so, there are limits. "Drilling for oil is an industrial process," concedes Ronnie Chappell, the main spokesman for BP Amoco on the North Slope. "Some things you can't get rid of--like pipelines...
After dwarfing Gore's schedule by teaching eight classes, holding two office hours and sharing one pint of Guinness with some students at a bar, I had a pretty good idea of what journalism school is like and why I won't be invited back. I'm not entirely sure it's a trade you can teach through academia. But I am sure that you can't teach public relations.

"Late Night with Conan O'Brien" offers schtick featuring an actor dressed up as Jesus Christ. And the pint-sized, helium-voiced denizens of "South Park" frequently meet up with Christ himself, whether he be hosting a cable-access show or taking on the devil in a wrestling match. These days it seems that an artist/entertainer would have to go pretty far ("Piss Christ," anyone?) before...
...transparent that I figured Yale Coach Rudy Meredith would potentially tap a deadly resource on the field that day - the 12-year old kids from the Boston area who had turned out for the fourth annual Youth Soccer Day. Maybe next year's recruiting class will contain these pint-sized powerhouses. I have a feeling that test scores and a lack of a high school diploma won't be a problem...
