...business by the end of January. Mosiello's corporate headquarters is in a dilapidated, 19th century building in Trenton, where the state of New Jersey required him to move in 1971. "The rent is right," says Mosiello, as he sits in his modest "office" -cell 105, 3 Tier, 6 Wing Right, Trenton State Prison. While other cons roam idly through 6 Wing, struggling with the numbing daily routine inside what they grimly call "the Wall," time rushes by for Hank Mosiello, No. 50622, a convict entrepreneur who does not need to be free to be enterprising...
Canada is one of the three largest foreign suppliers of crude oil to the U.S. It ships 800,000 bbl. daily to northern-tier states and the Midwest, accounting for 20% of U.S. imports, about equal to inflow from Nigeria.

In the center of the tier, meanwhile, yet another impotent center-left government fell in Italy last week, raising fears in some quarters that Communists might be allowed into the governing...
...Communists these days are well be haved; there are no threats of revolution, no promises of immediate radical change. By avoiding Moscow bear hugs and pledging to abide by democratic processes, they entice voters who have lived through totalitarian regimes. At the same time, Communists along the southern tier are capitalizing on anti-Americanism - particularly in Greece, where Washington is currently despised for its Turkish tilt over Cyprus. The danger to the U.S. and the Western alli ance in button-down Communism is that it could eventually lead to a weakening of NATO or the elimination of U.S. military bases...
