WHAT ABOUT IMPORTING MORE LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS? Energy companies would love to ramp up the trade in LNG, and European countries grew keenly interested after Russia and Ukraine got into a nasty spat over gas supplies a few weeks ago, roiling world gas markets.

Never has a mid-life crisis been this much fun. “Confessions on a Dance Floor” is an hour-long, non-stop ride that, like a mystical night at a club, ends with nothing fundamentally learned or gained, just...
