...Tonight, the dessert was not fluffy--it was slimy. While sitting behind the beaded curtain chatting and snarffing down tapioca pudding, Co-opers watched their friends trickle through the door as the day ended. Over the sound of Bob Dylan's crooning on the first floor, pots and pans clamored for attention in the kitchen on the other side of the huge dining room. At 6:30, however, the mellow atmosphere vanished as students appeared from out of nowhere, forming a line that circled around the 8-foot, dark wood table laden with bowls of food.

Bush ducked the issue even though he is well aware that the public knows U.S. troops would not be fighting in the Persian Gulf if the region were the world's leading producer of tapioca rather than the repository of 70% of the world's oil reserves. In a nationwide survey taken last month by bipartisan pollsters, oil was most often cited as the main reason for the U.S. presence in the Middle East. The U.S. is more reliant on foreign oil today than...
