...were the invaders? Most accounts still held that they were predominantly Saudis, probably members of the nomadic 'Utaibah tribe and several other tribal groups. Many were thought to belong to a fundamentalist sect that had previously agitated against TV, radio and women's rights. Yet it was clear that they were well trained, probably in South Yemen, and that the operation had been well planned. Said one Western intelligence official in the Middle East: "This was a direct attack against the House of Saud. You can be sure that the end of the battle of the Sacred Mosque...
...will not give out for many decades. Expert estimates of conventional oil reserves range from 5 billion to 8 billion bbl. (The U.S. has proven reserves of 28.5 billion bbl., and Mexico has 16 billion bbl.) Most significant, Alberta has huge additional "unconventional" sources of energy that are not yet economical to tap but will become increasingly feasible -and necessary-as oil prices rise. The basic sources are heavy bitumen oil and the tar sands, which together could provide as much as 320 billion bbl., or enough to supply the entire world demand for some 15 years at current rates...

In other words it saw virtually no doctrinal barrier to joint Communion, which is not yet the case with any other Christian body. For the Orthodox, however, Communion should be shared only when full doctrinal accord is achieved...
Tigan has no inkling yet of such details as whether the dome would be inflatable or rigid, what it would be made of, how air would be circulated, or even roughly how much it might cost. An artist's rendering commissioned by the town shows a structure about 200 ft. high at its center (enough to clear the town's tallest building, eleven stories high), covering a square mile of Winooski; it is transparent on its southern side, where there are also solar panels to catch the sun's rays, and becomes gradually opaque on the northern...
