Well, some people anyway. But then??there are the rest of you. You know who you are. You're the gentleman who delivered my groceries the other day and said we had a problem because I had to be 21 to receive alcohol. You're me when I told that same man that I liked a guy who knew his way around a dolly. (Lame, I know. I was caught off guard.) You're the fiftysomething guy behind me on the plane before Christmas telling his fortysomething seatmate how sensual her eyes were--actually, I hope you're not, because...

And then???the chairs of power theoretically empty?he set about firing those he deemed ineffective, disloyal, political liabilities, annoyances to his closest associates, or all of the above...
...momentum leading to a kind of "energy NATO" that would give the U.S. a chance to try its strategy for bringing down oil prices. If the citizens of the oil-importing countries can be persuaded to adopt conservation measures, and if a formula for limiting exports is accepted, then???the Americans optimistically reason?the oil exporters would start to quarrel over how to share the shrinking market. This could eventually weaken and perhaps break up the oil cartel, permitting prices to respond to the demands of an uncontrolled marketplace...
