Fuqua improves Annan to German campus

headline graduation � The United Nations secretary-general, who accepted the offer to speak this week, was the committee’s top choice.

By KEVIN LEES The Chronicle

As a new partnership in Asia gives a different face to the Fuqua School of Business’ globalization efforts, administrators are also looking to touch up an older venture in Europe. Last week, Fuqua officials announced a new partnership with Seoul National University, which would in part expand the Cross-Continent MBA program from the United States and Europe to South Korea. In partnering with Seoul National, Fuqua as shifting its international strategy from a build-your-own-campus model to an alliance-based model, reducing risk, resource burden and possible exposure problems for Fuqua. Douglas Breeden Those officials are also using the alliance as a boost in attracting students to the business school’s European satellite in Frankfurt, Germany. “[Creating and maintaining a European campus] did help and inform the partnership in the sense that we partnered with the one existing major university that’s the best in Korea and one of the best in Asia,” said Fuqua Dean Douglas Breeden. “We didn’t do that in Europe. We did it by ourselves. It’s competitive and hard to get your name going.” Breeden said the Fuqua School of Business Europe in Frankfurt, whose sponsors include Deutscheßank and the German Stock Exchange, may change its location, currently a hotel near the Frankfurt airport. The campus has also made small personnel See FRANKFURT on page 4

In May, when the United States may well be engaged in war, the world’s most high-profile peacekeeper will speak at Duke. Kofi Annan, secretary-general of the United Nations and recipient of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize, will deliver the University’s 2003 commencement address May 11. “I expect that he will speak from his experience in international institutions and as a diplomat.... It’s conceivable that he would make some sort of policy announcement, but my sense is that he will be speaking for the class,” said President Nan Keohane, announcing the selection to senior class leaders Monday afternoon. Class of 2003 President Heather Oh praised the selection. “I was so thrown by President Keohane’s announcement,” she said. “My mouth gaped open. I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ I was expecting someone good, but he exceeded our expectations.” Annan, the first black African to serve as secretary-general, has taken strong stands against the global AIDS crisis and internation-

New University website to debut late this month By ALEX GARINGER The Chronicle

How many clicks does it take to get to the bottom of the new Duke website? After seven years in its current incarnation and three months of planning, designing, coding and fine-tuning, the University will launch a redesign of its

main website at the end ofthe month. Currently in a beta test run, the new site will become accessible to users via a link on the current www.duke.edu site at the end of the week. The Duke News Service is spearheading the effort with technological assistance from the Office ofInformation Technology. The redesign brings a new, more compact appearance that provides quick links to some ofthe most requested sites off of the main page. Officials hope the new site will be more navigable and user-friendly. “Duke’s webpage is our front door to

the world,” said David Jarmul, associate vice president for news and communications, who is leading the initiative. “We want to begin to create an online lireilfp lllollie

commune for the Duke community.” Only the welcome homepage and general pages—such as “About Duke,” “Arts,” “Staff & Employment,” and “Duke & Durham”—will take on the new design. “We are not trying to redesign every webpage for Duke University,” said Ben Riseling, production manager for the new site. “We are trying to leverage the good work of what people are already doing. Duke’s decentralization and diversity is one ofits great strengths.” Many of Duke’s departmental websites, like those for the law school, libraries and human resources, have re-

U.N. to query Iraqis outside country U.S. officials predict questioning of Iraqi nuclear scientists to start next week By DAVID SANGER

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON President George W. Bush’s administration expects that international inspectors will try to bring Iraqi scientists and engineers out of the country starting next week to interview them about their knowledge of the country’s weapons programs, according to American and European officials familiar with the inspection teams’ plans. The interviews, officials say, may be conducted on Cyprus or at U.N. facilities in Europe. They are being timed to extract information from the scientists prior to the report to the United Nations on Jan. 27 by Hans Blix and Mohamed Elßaradei, who are directing

the search for chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs. The pace of the inspections is becoming an increasingly central issue,

with the fast approach of the weapons inspectors’ Jan. 27 report to the U.N. Security Council. While the Bush administration is pushing for a faster

clip, other Security Council members and the inspectors themselves are calling for patience. In recent days, several European officials and other members of the Security Council have said they could not back any military action against Iraq without the discovery of weapons of mass destruction, or evidence that President Saddam Hussein is blocking the inspectors. Monday, Elßaradei, the director-

general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the teams “still need a few months to achieve our mission.” Blix, the chief U.N. weapons inspector, affirmed that he did not see the Jan. 27 report as a deadline. “We can see a lot ofwork ahead of us beyond that date if we are allowed to do so,” he said. So far the inspections have yielded almost no new information. In hopes of speeding things up, American intelligence officials have now put together a list of approximately 100 scientists and engineers who they believe are central to Saddam’s weapons programs, and they are pressing the weapons inspectors to take willing scientists—and their families—to a place outside of Saddam’s control.

Lieberman joins 2004 Democratic race By GLEN JOHNSON

Voter News Service officially closes doors

The vote analysis service at the center of the confusion over the 2000 presidential balloting officially went out of business Monday, leaving in doubt the media’s plans for projecting the 2004 election. News briefs compiled from wire reports.

The Chronicle

The Boston Globe

Senator Joseph Lieberman of STAMFORD, Conn. Connecticut, freed from his pledge to defer to A1 Gore, announced Monday that he would run for president in 2004 as “a different kind of Democrat.” While not the first candidate to formally enter the race, Lieberman was the first to declare with a full-blown campaign event. Speaking at Stamford High School, the 2000 vice presidential nominee was surrounded by his family and high school classmates. “My friends, two years ago we were promised a better America, but that promise has not been kept,” he said. “So today, I am ready to put our country first, to fight for what’s right for the American people. I’m ready to protect their security, to revive their economy and to uphold their

values. Yes, Fm ready to announce today that I am a candidate for president in 2004—and I intend to win.” Lieberman, 60, had pledged not to run if Gore waged another run for the White House, but the former vice president said last month he would not be a candidate. The senator followed his speech with a classroom visit, diner

tour, and round of media interviews, but another event,

perhaps more significant, took place out of sight. His staff filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission in Washington, allowing him to raise and spend money for a presidential run, and also to hire a campaign staff. The other Democrats who had already taken that step are former Vermont Governor Howard Dean, Senators John Kerry ofMassachusetts and John Edwards ofNorth Carolina, and Representative Richard Gephardt of Missouri.

Starr discusses Supreme Court with law students The former United States solicitor general touted increased public education about law By BENJAMIN PERAHIA The Chronicle

From flag burning to religion in schools, American constitutional issues are too far removed from the public, which often knows very little about relevant cases, former U.S. solicitor general Kenneth Starr, Law ’73, told an audience at the School of Law Monday. About a hundred people, mostly law students, gathered for the lunch discussion with Starr, who served under former president George H.W. Bush and recently published a book, First Among Equals: The Supreme Court in American Life. The name Kenneth Starr should be familiar to anyone who followed the controversy surrounding the impeachment of former president Bill Clinton, a period Starr referred to Monday only as the “recent unpleasantness.” Otherwise, Starr avoided the subject during his visit, focusing on the importance of increased public knowledge about the interaction between the U.S. Supreme Court and Congress. “I wanted to write a book that would make the court much more accessible to the entire nation,” said Starr, explaining his reasons for publishing with trade instead of university press. “One of the things that people tend to argue about over the dinner table are issues like abortion, school prayer, affirmative action. I wanted to make these as accessible as possible to the American people,” he said. In his talk, Starr offered two examples of prominent constitutional issues examined by both Congress and the Supreme Court. He began with the flag burning controversies that started with the

Supreme Court striking down a Texas state law banning the desecration of

the flag on the grounds that it inhibited the First Amendment right of free expression. A widespread public de-

bate followed, and eventually Congress passed the Flag Protection Act of 1989. It was signed by former president Bush, who noted that there were some serious constitutional complications with the act. Yet, when Starr argued for the United States in the Supreme Court case U.S. vs. Eichman, the Flag Protection Act was also overturned by the court. “I lost five to four at the Supreme Court of the United States, which determined that flag burning was part of our free expression,” Starr said. Starr also discussed the 1990 Supreme Court case of Bridget Mergens, a student whose request to form a Christian organization at her high school was refused by the school’s principal. The school district argued that allowing a religious group to meet in the school may limit the administration’s ability to decide which groups were legitimate. In an 8-1 decision, the Supreme Court decided that the students had the right to meet according to the Equal Access Act of 1984. In the majority opinion, the Court stated that if one or more extracurricular groups existed in a school, then all should be allowed to meet on a non-discriminatory basis. Starr concluded that more should be done to inform the public of these kinds

of debates.

“[The courts] are not an area that should be viewed as the precinct of lawyers and judges. It affects us all so we should have a richer understanding of it,” he said. Starr said he supports more education on the law in high schools, and he

Breeden added that last year, they moved Fuqua School ofBusiness Europe Dean Robert Ashton, Martin L. Black, Jr. professor of business, out of his Frankfurt apartment, where he was to reside for half of every year. Now, Ashton works in Durham but travels back and forth to Frankfurt. The savings to Fuqua, Breeden said, have been between $300,000 and $400,000. The Frankfurt effort had not gone as smoothly as hoped, Fuqua officials admitted last year, due to the difficulty of competing head-on with better-known universities.

The German market will always be a more reserved one, not as active. What we’re finding is that by expanding, going to Switzerland, going to Moscow, going to Paris, those are markets that we’re finding are more interesting marketplaces. We’ll always take a certain number of Germans, but our growth will come from other countries.” Nagy said the program competes both with other joint efforts, such as that ofthe London School of Economics-Columbia University program and a University of Chicago campus in Barcelona.

Kairys looked to the sites of Stanford University, the University ofPennsylvania and the University of Wisconsin, among other higher education and corporate sites for inspiration. Thirteen drafts and even further tweaking later, the new site is now just about ready for the public. “We will continue to solicit feedback because there is no way in three months we’ve been able to get it completely perfect. We are viewing the site as a work in progress,” Riseling said. In the following months, the University will also unveil a more encompassing and powerful search engine provided

top European MBA programs, such as those offered at the International Institute for Managerial Development in Switzerland and INSEAD in France, also attract top students. Yet the program must also deal with a European business climate not so fully sold on the MBA’s value. “It ebbs and flows dramatically,” Nagy said. “In countries that are more aligned with Western-style business, like England, France, Spain and Switzerland, the MBA is highly valued and there is some reward for students going on to get the MBA. Germany is mixed and not as supportive.” Although Breeden did not rule out the possibility of partnering with a school in Europe in the future as well, he did not see any new alliances on the horizon anytime soon, meaning that for the time being, all of Fuqua’s efforts in Europe will be aimed at making the Frankfurt campus more attractive. “We think we’re going to pick up students from Europe,” Breeden said. “We view [the Seoul partnership] as a plus for Europe-based students.”

He has also worked to bring greater political stability to his home continent, working behind the scenes to make 2002’s Johannesburg conference for African political reform a success. Annan had been the committee’s top choice and the invitation had been extended months ago, said Steven Baldwin, professor of chemistry and vice chair ofthe speaker selection committee. Annan accepted the invitation last week. Gillian Sorensen, UN. assistant secretary-general for external relations, said the invitation was one of many Annan received. “He knows that it’s a great university,” Sorensen said. “He has not had a chance to visit that part of the country in a long time. He’s also aware of the wonderful research Duke’s doing on AIDS. He’s very appreciative ofthat.” Annan, no stranger to the commencement circuit, told Northwestern University’s graduates last year to become global citizens and to work to combat global poverty.

expect Annan to share his thoughts on the United States’ role in fighting glob-

al terrorism. “I wouldn’t be surprised as long as the situation is as it is now, or even more heightened tension... if this is monitored by the national news agencies,” he said. In his term as secretary-general, Annan has proven an independent leader, often challenging the United States on international issues, including American intentions to invade Iraq. Annan has had to deal with a budget crisis in the United Nations, and has worked not just to make staff and budget cuts, but also to cultivate ties to the private sector. A native of Ghana, Annan came to the position as a longtime diplomat and bureaucrat inside the United Nations. From 1994 to 1996, he served as under secretary-general, except for a fourmonth stint as a special representative to the former Yugoslavia following the Dayton Peace Agreement ending the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Annan also negotiated the return of 900 international workers from Iraq shortly after the 1990 Iraqi invasion of

Kuwait. Annan’s involvement with the United Nations, however, goes back to 1962, when he first worked as an administrative budget officer with the World Health Organization in Geneva. It is expected that University officials will recommend Annan for an honorary degree, an honor that is traditionally approved by the Academic Council and Board of Trustees in the spring.

Duke, Beard overcome sluggish Ist half in blow-out � After her 41 point performance against Virginia, Alana Beard scored only two first half points. Her teammates carried the load until Beard exploded, scoring 17 in the last 13 minutes. By JESSE COLVIN The Chronicle

Britney Spears has ATLANTA her dancers and production team. Buzz Armstrong had the other astronauts and ground control. Winston Churchill had his political advisors. Heck, even the Michael Jordan of old had a back-

up cast. Last night on a hostile court against an energized team, Alana Beard, the women’s basketball team’s junior star—its Spears, Armstrong, Churchill, and perhaps even Jordan—needed some help. After scoring all but three of the team’s field goals and hitting two foul shots in the final seconds to seize the win against Virginia last Thursday night, she was struggling. Coming into halftime, Beard had more fouls, three, than points, two. . Unable to rely on their leader, the rest of the Blue Devils were instead forced to depend on themselves. Behind the strength of Iciss Tillis’ 24 points and 14 rebounds and some timely shooting from the rest of the team, Duke (15-0, 3-0) was able to come away with a win against Georgia Tech (11-4, 0-3) in front of 3,592 fans in Atlanta last night. “You look at box score and we have five people in double figures, and we would all prefer for that to be the way the game goes for us, Alana included,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. Down by four seven minutes into the second half, the Blue Devils needed a spark, and they got it from, of all people, Beard. She picked Tech’s Megan Isom’s pocket near midcourt, streaked down court, and laid the ball through the net. The play seemed to energize the up-to-then crestfallen Duke players and get Beard, who would go on to score 15 points after that play, in sync. The Yellow Jackets would not give up, however. They hung around like the insects they are named after at a picnic. After a free throw, shot by Tech’s Kasha Terry brought the deficit back to four, the Blue Devils’ Vicki Kraphol drove down the court and made a long three pointer, which, according to Tech head coach Angus Berenato, demoralize her team. When Beard began to heat up, Berenato switched the team’s defense to a box-and-one. Had the Yellow Jackets remained in a man defense, she surmised that Kraphol probably would not have such an open look on

that shot.

“Kraphol really came up with a big three. At that point, it’s a six point game... Give Vicki Kraphol the credit that’s due,” Berenato said.

When she is on, Jesse Colvin she can literally put Gmecmmnur, the team on her back and carry it to wins. Just look at the Virginia game last Thursday. The rest of the team made three field goals the entire game. Game over, right? Not with Alana. All she does is pour in 41 points and hit the game winning free throws with less than a second left in the game.

Winner, Duke. Third, Duke has some other players, too, and they are pretty good, as well. With Beard a non-factor for the entire first half—she was hampered by foul trouble and only managed two free throws in the first twenty minutes of play—the rest of the team picked up

the slack. Iciss Tillis scored 15 points on a

variety of moves. Michele Matyasovsky was stepping out and hitting jumpers. And the rest of the team was con-

tributing as well. “You look at box score and we have five people in double figures, and we would all prefer for that to be the way the game goes for us, Alana included,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “Alana doesn’t want to have to go out and score forty points and we don’t need her to. “In away in the long run it was good for us for Alana to really struggle because we need to understand that there are going to be games when [her shot’sl just not going to fall, and that’s okay because we have so many other players who can step up.” So what does a week’s lessons of basketball teach us? Simply put, despite all the talk about depth and team efforts—this is Beard’s team. She is Duke’s heart and soul. She was the second half spark. The team will go as far as she can take it. She did it against Virginia and Georgia Tech. Yes, other Duke players made some huge plays; Krapohl hit a three pointer that essentially ended the game, and the rest of the Blue Devils could probably have beaten the Yellow Jackets without their star. They all have incredible skills and basketball resumes, but Duke beat Tech by twenty and Beard had 19. Without her, it’s a one point game.

So is it possible that without Alana

Beard, Duke is just a good team?

Men’s and women ’s swimming dominate Davidson With much of K-Ville watching, the Blue Devils took every event from their in-state rivals By MATT SULLIVAN The Chronicle

AMY HALLIGAN and the women’s swimming team won all their events against Davidson

It did not take long for the men’s and women’s swimming teams to get back in the swing of things after their six week break when they hosted Davidson Saturday. The weaker competition did not hurt, either. With some of their new neighbors—the K-ville faithful—welcoming them back to the pool, the women’s team (5-4, 0-4 in the ACC) kept up its momentum George Mason from November’s Invitational with a 140-97 win, and the men (2-5, 0-3) bounced back from their third place finish in Fairfax, Va. to trounce the Wildcats 146-58. One of the many Blue Devils to take the top times on the day—Duke grabbed first in all 13 events—was junior Lauren Cornet, who dominated to the 200-meter freestyle and 500 freestyle by a wide margin in individual events, with times of 1:54.87 and 5:05.19, respectively. “It was really nice to swim against Davidson because we haven’t had a meet in a while, and it was nice to get back into the competing mode,” Cornet said. “And individually, I was really pleased with the way I swam.” After spending four hours a day in the pool on a training trip to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. over winter break, most of the Blue Devils came out of the water sharing Comet’s sentiment. The junior’s leg of the 400 freestyle relay along with those of Katie Ness, Julia Lewis and

Alison Sundberg gave Duke another top finish as the women’s quartet continues to strive for a 30-year-old school record in the 400 heading into ACC play. The rest of that gang had solid days individually as well, with Ness taking the 200-meter butterfly in 2:04.56, Lewis topping out in the 50 freestyle at 24.96 and Sundberg grabbing the top mark in the 100 freestyle with a 54.10. After a disappointing finish in the George Mason Invitational, the men’s squad jumped all over the Wildcats thanks in bulk to sophomore John Humphrey, who won the 200 individual medley (1:56.07) and the 100 free (48.03) to go with a leg ofthe butterfly in the firstplace 400 medley relay along with Justin Ward, Ben Rowland and Chris Brede. “I think the 200 was probably my best race,” Humphrey said. “It wasn’t my best time ofthe year, but it was really good swimming for me, and I felt relaxed back in the pool after a helpful trip to Florida.” In addition to the great swimming performances, Tim Hyer took home the diving honors for the Duke men in the onemeter and three-meter competitions. Duke might need to tense up a bit more, though, when it travels to face UNC-Wilmington and their healthy crop of short-distance swimmers on Saturday afternoon. “It’ll be closer because they have some really good sprinters,” Humphrey said. “I think we’re going to have to step it up a notch this weekend.”

The Chronicle Going global... again Fuqua’s announcement that it will expand its Cross-Continent MBA program into South Korea demonstrates the University’s commitment to international affairs

The

Fuqua School of Business’s announcement last week that it will expand one of its premier degree programs into Asia is a welcome sign of the University’s overseas expansion, as well as an indication that administration officials have learned from past mistakes about what makes an international expansion work. The degree program, the Cross-Continent MBA, is still in its infancy after Fuqua inaugurated the program in 1999. Seeking to respond to changes in the global economy, the program heavily relies on Internet-based education and international business. Partnering with South Korea’s Seoul National University will certainly aid the latter goal. Students and professors will have greater access to learning and research at each others’ campuses, and Fuqua’s for-profit corporate consulting company will help train Korean executives. Fuqua tried to establish a similar program in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1999, but with one important difference: Duke tried to brave its European expansion alone, not partnering with another university. While Seoul National is clearly the top university in South Korea, Duke founded its Frankfurt campus with only Duke resources. The disadvantage became apparent last year when Fuqua officials cut a significant portion of resources at the campus. European students were and are showing lackluster interest in the Frankfurt campus, leading Fuqua to seek students from Russia and elsewhere. The name and resources of Seoul National will hopefully prevent a similar problem with Fuqua’s Asia expansion. That the business school chose Asia for its next move abroad makes sense. Despite recent security and financial concerns, the Korean peninsula and its neighbors remain one of the most dynamic centers ofworld economic growth. Economists predict that with continued investment, East Asia will only continue to be a leader in technology and economic development. Fuqua’s decision to partner now testifies to a strong and timely sense of planning. It is also encouraging that, at a time when much of the University is scaling back or at least rethinking long-range plans, the business school is intent to forge on with its investments. Douglas Breeden, dean of Fuqua, has spent years with business school officials planning the Seoul National partnership, and their ability to bring it to fruition during difficult economic times hopefully indicates a stronger fiscal health at the University. As higher education becomes ever more globalized and universities realize the benefits of cross-continent collaboration, Fuqua has taken a lead at Duke in how to implement international expansion. The rest of the University and Medical Center either are or will work in a similar direction, and Fuqua’s experience should serve as a model for what works and what puts Duke at a disadvantage.

Head line monitor explains Virginia game policy This Wednesday at 7:00 p.m., the undefeated men’s basketball team will play its second home ACC game against the University of Virginia in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

It’s hard to believe Matt Gillum’s letter proclaiming that “nothing in the world is more sacred than exorbitant wealth” is not a weak idea for a prank. Nothing more sacred than “vast sums of money”? Hmm, seems to me that there might be a few things more sacred. Let me think. Oh, this is hard. God, maybe? How about love? Or self-sacrifice? Even more ludicrous than this self-serving remark is his self-justifying assertion that all “exorbitant wealth” is earned, “accrued through effort, thought and production.” Yes, I had to work very hard

to figure out which mutual funds to put my inherited wealth in. It took a lifetime of work—and by a lifetime of work I mean a few hours in with library the Morningstar and Forbes magazine. Thank God—or thank should I say Exorbitant Wealth?—that the Bush administration wants to cut taxes on stock dividends. Then all my hard work will really pay off—and by hard work I mean liquid assets. Does Gillum honestly believe that a poor kid growing up in a socially isolated, educationally

inner-city has the same opportunities that most of the other students at Duke have had? At least Gillum has the honesty to tell us that we at Duke should be proud because our “families have achieved”— which gives me an idea. Why doesn’t Duke simply make every student pay his or her own way through school—no family support allowed? Then perhaps we could see who truly has “earned” their position and not simply rationalized it through self-delusional Ayn Rand propaganda. Ben Dalton School ’O4

I’m planning on joining a sorority where the sisters are supportive, where I can have a network and common bond with people I ordinarily may not have met, let alone befriended. I plan on meeting people who can give me their opinion about which teachers they liked the most, which classes were the best for them and insights as to what more I can get from Duke. I look forward to being in a sisterhood where my standards and differences are seen as an integral part of who I am, not anomalies that must be ironed out.

dolls and attempted to distribute them at the West Campus bus stop this December. One was accepted by a passerby; three were stolen. With three of its five players set to graduate in the spring, the hockey team is running out of money, ideas and the ability to go on. After I had unearthed this secret history of Duke hockey, I was furious that Athletic

Director Alieva’s underhanded endeavors were so close to success. The only thing left to do was to confront Alieva himself, and so I called his office last week: “Mr. Alieva, I’m calling from the Duke Chronicle regarding your systematic abuse of our men’s ice hockey team over the past five years. You have slashed funding to inexcusable levels; you’ve made no efforts on behalf of the Athletics Department to recruit new players; you allow the team to go completely uncoached and unpromoted. How can you justify destroying a program that once had such an honored place at Duke? And why are your efforts so craven and covert? What

do you have to hide? I demand that you explain yourself to the Duke community.” “Duke doesn’t have an ice hockey team.” “With the way you’re treating it, that might as well be true.” “No, we literally do not have a hockey team. You’re just making all of this up, aren’t you?” “I’ve had enough of your lies, Mr. Alieva. I want the... Hello? Hello?” And so the denials and deceptions continue. But it’s amazing, isn’t it? Not the athletics director’s relentless attempts to kill hockey at Duke, but rather that our athletes are intent on resisting such adversity to the very end. Ignored by their fellow students, outmanned by their opponents, assaulted by the administration, these young men take to the ice day after day after day because, deep down, they just want to play hockey.

If anything, it makes it easier for foreign governments to “misplace” substantial sums of money that later turn up in the hands of al Qaeda. It’s economic demand for dummies. (Combined with the adamant resistance to combating the War on Drugs from a demand perspective, one wonders if anyone on Pennsylvania Avenue even opened their John Maynard Keynes reader.) As long as this administration is going to bend over for every special interest group, maybe they could find away to include a third party in their economic nookie—in this case the American people. It’s time for some energy policy innovation. Let’s take all that money we use to subsidize the non-existent oil-refinery shortage, and instead use it to start encouraging the domestic automakers to research even-better hybrids. As long as we are going to dole out corporate welfare, let’s use it in such away that advances an interest of all Americans —financially cutting off the terrorists.

TheAuto Show is a time to show off innovation and creativity—ifwe start on an energy policy today (or more likely, in January 2005) future auto shows will not just have the Rolls Royce with the plasma screen television, the shows might feature the car that saved thousands of American lives from another terrorist attack.
