Washington was considered an oddball champion last year, when an eight-week strike muddied the results and disenchanted the customers. But if the Redskins were eccentric then, they have since gone completely crazy. Instead of laying off for a season, as Super Bowl teams are inclined to do, they poured it on.

At issue was a "what if" exercise conducted over an eight-week period this spring by the International Energy Agency (IEA), a 21-nation group created to coordinate worldwide responses to future oil crises. The high-stakes exercise began with a simulated telegram sent by the IEA secretariat in Paris announcing that 8 million bbl. daily had vanished from world pipelines. Reason: a hypothetical...
