...Paso proposal, an all-American project, calls for piping gas on a route parallel to the oil pipeline, from Prudhoe Bay almost due south across Alaska to Gravina Point. There it would be liquefied, loaded on tankers, shipped to California, deliquefied and pumped into existing pipelines. Alaska state officials vigorously support the El Paso system, which would bring jobs and investment for liquefaction plants to the area. One key drawback to the plan is that the West Coast already has an ample supply of gas. Another is the possibility of tanker mishaps. The Alcan application, which proposes laying a pipeline...
...beginning to receive due recognition--a contribution, Keeley believes, akin to that of major poets such as Yeats, Eliot and Pound--who, like Cavafy, shaped "their individual myths out of the cities and countries of their imaginations." But Cavafy, in relative literary isolation, "was the first of these to project a coherent poetic image of the mythical city that shaped his vision"--what Keeley terms "the Alexandrian mode."

But no White House decision is likely to come until the British make up their own minds about Skytrain. A British appeals court last month invalidated a government ruling that...
...Schiller, Gilmore's violent end was a new stage in a multimillion-dollar project to dramatize the dead man's story. Schiller, 40, has made a small career of wedging himself into the midst of sensational news events. When Jack Ruby was dying in 1967, for example, Schiller smuggled a recorder into Ruby's hospital room and taped his deathbed statement that he killed Lee Harvey Oswald on a whim...
