Last week the salt-caked Kerkyra returned empty to the Greek port of Halkis, after carrying a load of cement to Benghazi in Libya on its regular run. Beneath the paint of the new name, dockside onlookers can still discern welded letters spelling out the old, outlined in cement dust. Scheersberg A has come in out of the cold...

While a small handful of OPEC countries have been amassing a $150 billion balance of payments surplus, the non-oil producing less developed countries, or LDCs, have plunged into debt by almost the same amount-$142 billion-to pay for petroleum. In only three more years, that debt load is expected to rise to a staggering $241 billion...
