...January, when he announced a moratorium on disharmony, adding that Brown would be offered a contract for next season and that no trades-requested or not-would be made. Feldman followed his ultimatum by inviting Porter and Brown to breakfast. On the menu: bagels, Nova Scotia salmon and soft soap.

That chore, wryly says one Alyeska technician, promises to be "another wildly interesting experiment in arctic engineering." It could add to the project's cost, which has already soared from an early estimate of $900 million in the late 1960s to $7.7 billion today. Some officials...
