As is sadly customary, other people's postings seem far more interesting than my own. Here's the best thing I've seen so far about gulf oil.

DeLong offers a challenging insight into the politic situation of undergraduates at Berkeley, suggesting that (surprise!) it is a good deal more complicated than the right-wing slime machine believes.
