America Between Friends: The
Reagon Administration's Mishandling of the Falklands War
My final college paper was one of my favorites. The war was absurd, and
the American response pure comedy. It was uncoordinated and made the U.S.
a loser in a war which it had no part. The Reagan Administration amusingly
mishandled one event after another during the war, resulting in my favorite
writing topic in four years of college.
The Race To Hubbert's Peak
Until The West Wing, I was sadly unaware of M. King Hubbert or
his oil production projections. The idea that the world could face an oil
crisis even with plenty of oil in the ground!?! Hubbert projected that production
would follow a bell curve. After the peak, production of oil would be unable
to keep pace with demand, ending the petroleum age.
