How World War III Will Start...and Where.


Mr. Esmay  calls our attention to the fact that oil prices are high, and that there are some indications that the great oil field in Saudi Arabia, the Ghawar -- may be drying up.  He expresses doubt that there will be a catastrophic impact on the AMerican economy from high oil prices.  That is debatable, although I would rather not get into that debate right now.
