Web Extra: Kott trial phone taps
Wed, September 12, 2007
In addition to today’s story on the Kott trial, we wanted to offer a sampling of the original phone call audio intercepted by federal investigators and played in U.S. District Court in Anchorage this week.

Shell ramping down Beaufort Sea drilling ops
Wed, September 12, 2007
Shell Oil has begun a staged ramp-down for its exploratory drilling operations in the Beaufort Sea while an injunction ordered by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is in effect.
