摘要：Editor’s Note:
Between 1985-91, Paul Tempest went to 15 OPEC
Meetings, each lasting 3-15 days, as the on-the-spot representative
of the Shell Group. For the Oil Ministers and also
the press and others outside the council door in Geneva,
Vienna and Brioni, it was not all hard grind. There were
official and unofficial OPEC parties, excursions to the
surrounding countryside, gastronomic “treats”, a box at the
Vienna Opera and the activities of the OPEC POETS, who,
led by the voluminous Oil Minister of the UAE, strove, in their
leisure time together, to reduce the proceedings and almost
anything else they could think of, to light verse.
