I am hearing more about natural gas than oil going up as a result of
Chinese demand. Of course, coming out of the oil shocks in the 70s, some
economists wrote that oil prices could not have much of an effect because

Sitting here just south of the insurance capital of the US, I figured I
should step up on this. Tell me more, Michael. What type of
insurance? Which nation(s)? For starters, there's The Historian and the
Business of Insurance, edited by O. Westall, specific to insurance in
Great Britain, and

sitting here icing a swollen pinkie, so I'll be brief. I just wanted

for chapter 10 (the chapter in which Moore states his opinion that
Mumia is guilty) there were in fact references
Paul's response was very informative. I wonder if the Madrid conference
did anything to increase the respectability of the war. I read that the

Moore needs to answer for what he
has said, and needs to be urged to repair the damage that he has
done.
I disagree with your conclusion here, and with your seeming belief that
Moore has a thesis that Mumia is guilty. What Moore was doing was saying
he personally thinks Mumia is guilty, on the
Leave Moore alone.

but that's not saying very much.)
