Re: consolidation

[Joe Shea <joeshea@netcom.com>]

	One of the more interesting consolidations in progress is covered
in a length report on our site, discussing the merger of America's largest
supplier of oil and another national oil company, and of two regional
trading blocs, to create a vast new free trade zone.  Can anyone guess
what I mean before looking at the site?  :)

Best,
