Can you provide some more suggested reading (links)?
The Walter Hickel piece was generally positive, but, I roamed around ADN a bit: It seems to cater to mostly the 20% who don’t like Gov. Palin? Or maybe I just happened to read the wrong articles / comments...
I also didn’t see much in the article (link to ADN) about Russia.

This is a background on Hickel. Palin knows about Russia but she did the right thing by going her own way when she broke from Hickel on the gasline.
Hickel went to China trying to drum up business with Sinopec on the LNG route and talked with Russia about it.
