May 17

May 17/18,2008--Saudis rebuff Bush on oil; won't lift output; prices hit new high; oil surged ... to settle at a record $126.29 amid strong demand for distillates. WSJ A1--[gotta put out more than just holding hands, George W...beee-yach!!]

May 17, 2008--US set to build big new prison in Afghanistan--NYT A1 [who sez the USA is done with?]

May 17, 2008--"If something in me that can be called religious .. then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as science can reveal it.....the word of God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. ... As far as my experience goes [my fellow Jews] are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Othwerise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them." NYT A11 [why can't he just convert so Jesus will come back??]
