...island's residents would agree. The energy projects have been raised environmental concerns over potential damage to the habitats of the endangered Western grey whale and the streams where salmon come to spawn. Dmitry Lisitsyn, an intense geologist who has emerged as the voice of Sakhalin's environmental community, also fears that the pipelines could rupture in the event of an earthquake - Sakhalin is seismically unstable -causing a catastrophic underground oil spill.

Why over four years’ infighting, squabbling, and report-writing was necessary to spawn it is a mystery. The Faculty has essentially spent that time renaming course categories—who needs Moral Reasoning when one can have “Ethical Reasoning?”—while completely evading the real issues.Nevertheless, there remains a glimmer of hope. The SCGE might...
