...scores of surprising talents such as the French Canadian Anne Hebert, 64, and the American Ruth Stone, 65, who are among the most personal, powerful and sensuous of the contemporary poets represented. There are also some regrettable omissions, for example, Jean Valentine, Jane Cooper, Jean Garrigue and Elizabeth Bishop. Yet it should be noted that before her death in 1979, Bishop declined to be included in this anthology. Her reason: it is confined to women.

Even so, the earth's behavior is becoming much less mysterious. As late as 1750, the Bishop of London told his flock that two recent quakes were warnings from an angry deity. Today, scientists prefer another explanation, an all-encompassing view of the earth known as the theory of plate tectonics. It holds that the planet's surface consists of a dozen or so restless plates, each about 70 miles thick. Their movements explain volcanoes, the rise of mountains and the drift of continents. They account for quakes as well, most of which seem to occur where...

The Western press may likewise find the new information order, as UNESCO seems likely to serve it up, good only in parts-and hence unpalatable...
...people most regularly involved with the Covenant also have full time pastoral or administrative duties and were unavailable for comment. The steering committee, which consists of Humberto Cardinal Medeiros of the Roman Catholic archdiocese, Bishop Edward G. Carroll of the United Methodist Church, Rabbi Herman Blumberg of the American Jewish Committee, Luster, Fr. Ernest Serino of St. Catherine's in Charlestown, Fr. Walter Waldron of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in the South End, and Dr. Virgil Wood, dean of the African-American Institute at Northeastern University, still meets at rotating locations each Thursday to discuss ways to make...
