AT LEAST: We're not fretting about $147 per barrel oil and runaway inflation. So we're not headed toward the 1970s. Oil prices are likely to
fall lower. Amid all the economic trouble, we can be gleeful if the Arab oil princes and their companies take a big hit. While it likely will mean only one less Rolls-Royce for your typical oil sheik, their real pain will come from diminished economic stature and influence. Let's keep pushing for those greener, fuel-saver vehicles. -- M.R.
