I don't know of any precise way to measure the popularity of Seabiscuit vs. that of Joe Louis, but I'm fairly certain that, late in 1938, millions of American boys weren't fantasizing about growing up to be racehorses.So summarizes Allan Barra at OpinionJournal. Somewhat more interesting to me is the piece on OPEC by Claudia Rosett, which points outThe Saudis are, of course, entitled to offer oil at any price they want, including the OPEC target price of $22 to $28 a barrel for oil that costs them $1 to $2 a barrel to produce. But the Saudi-led collusion that goes into keeping world oil prices high enough to command prices that OPEC deems "fair and reasonable" is the kind of stuff that would get private capitalists in the U.S. fried on prime-time TV and thrown in prison.Neither is earth-shattering, but if you want to read them, there they are. |
