...easiest to refine. And tankers leaving Libya need far less time to reach U.S. and European ports than those leaving the Persian Gulf. Given the turmoil in Iraq, and the fact that Washington is on chilly terms with Iran, many U.S. oil companies see Libya as a dream prospect. "There's a huge amount of oil that hasn't been discovered," says Michael Thomas, director of the London-based Middle East Association, a trade-promotion group that organized the business conference in Tripoli where Seif spoke. "The money is all there. There is nothing like this in the world...
...experiment will have to be replicated before it's fully accepted, and the prospect of some sort of antiaging medicine to protect cells is distant at best. Still, the study seems to tie together a lot of interesting threads. "What will really be interesting," says Sapolsky, "will be to trace the pathways--how you go from the level of people getting no sleep down to the cellular level. It will be amazing once we understand that...
...below average. He had doubts about his ability to lead men into battle, and he slid into bouts of depression and heavy drinking. His life was about to get worse. Jenkins' unit, he had learned, was scheduled to ship out soon to the live war in Vietnam, a prospect that terrified him.

There were about 30 students in each class. "They wanted us to teach them American pronunciation," he says, a prospect that seems amusing considering many Americans would have trouble deciphering Jenkins' thick accent. Often the text consisted of translated utterances by Kim Il Sung, who became the North's first leader in 1948, when Korea split into two countries, and remained in power until his death in 1994.

This digitization is an exciting prospect, one that could revolutionize libraries as we know them. While there is already talk of tying HOLLIS into the new search engine for the use of Harvard affiliates, the possibilities extend much further. We hope that HUL will eventually create a digital borrowing system that allows affiliates to access even its copyrighted holdings, much in the same way that JSTOR and other e-resources allow. We understand the potential constraints of copyright law, but we hope that Harvard makes the effort to push this project to its maximum potential. Such simple and broad access...
