...easily explained. He was making the snow that fell all over Syracuse this weekend. Even the storm was like Harvard's performance in the tournament. I woke up Thursday morning, looked at those big flakes, and expected a one-foot blizzard. By late that night it had turned to slush...
Hickel pointed out that the proposed line would carry hot oil over frozen soil. Unless designed with extreme care, he insisted, it would act like a hot poker on a cake of ice. After thawing the permafrost, the line might sag into the slush and finally break, spilling oil that could do great harm because it would last for years. Moreover, the line's route would cross earthquake zones. Since each mile of pipe would have a capacity of 100,000 barrels of crude, any break in the line could have disastrous consequences...

My left foot sunk below the surface, and I pitched forward, dropping my sleeping bags before me and sinking into about three feet of snow. No sooner did I collect myself and my bundles, than I fell again. By the time I reached...
