There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

That project fell through in the late 90s when the Unocal-led consortium fell apart.

And it's more politically viable to use the Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan pipeline, despite the geographical difficulties (because no-one is stupid enough to invest in putting a pipeline through the highly volatile Afghanistan and into a rebelling part of Pakistan).

Ah, see now what I was reading made it seem it was still in "negotiations".

The guy behind the register at the Chinese buffet told me so.
Formerly something else...
