My favorite interview issued from the Romanian press this year is this disheartening, ultra-modern interview given by Chevron executive Tom Holst. Mr. Holst's job is to operate a professional scheme to undermine the post-communist transition to democracy in various states. If Holst has his way, Romania will soon enjoy the flush times of healthy shale fracking and rule by corporate oligarchy. Bah. Humbug. Read the expression on his face and you know how he feels about the truth.
