...there a real prospect that the world will run out of its standard fuel resources? Yes, eventually. How much time remains? Nobody can tell for cer tain, but many specialists cite the figures of M. King Hubbert, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey, who predicts that 90% of all oil and gas will be gone by 2035, about 90% of all coal by 2300. Before that doomsday comes, most experts believe, technology can provide alternate sources of power, notably through nuclear energy. In the meantime, however, fuel supplies are al ready becoming scarcer, harder to dig out and thus...
...Soviet Jew lives in a country where the newspapers, magazines and broadcasting service daily cast sickening aspersions on Jewish people, Jewish traditions and Jewish religion. (To cite a recent example, a Moscow radio commentator, speaking about expulsion of Israelis from Uganda, claimed that Israelis had robbed Uganda in the same way that their ancestors had robbed trustful Egyptians ) Here recognition of Jewish nationality exists merely as an entry in a passport...
...situation presents other legal complexities. A U.S. State Department official conceded last week that the Government could cite no precedent from other wars for its action, but he pointed out that the North Vietnamese have also sown mines. The most questionable aspect of the U.S. legal position is the lack of a declaration of war. Writing in 1967 in a military legal journal, Navy Captain Geoffrey E. Carlisle stated that "without a state of war, a blockade [of Haiphong] would be of doubtful legality. A similar analysis could be made with respect to mining harbors...
...Yorker has always run articles about public issues," Editor Shawn says; the magazine can cite such warnings as Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time ten years ago. But Shawn agrees that both the urgency and frequency of political pieces have increased sharply. In his view, the turning point was the 1970 Cambodian invasion. Richard Goodwin, once a Kennedy speechwriter, wrote a denunciation of Nixon's "usurpation" of power; Shawn used it as an editorial. After that "Notes and Comment," once the fluffy lead-in to each issue, frequently became...
Actually, there was one major disappointment which even the most casual observer couldn't fail to note. Jane Fonda did not cite Merleau-Ponte or Cesar Chavez or George McGovern for inspiring her winning performance in Klute, didn't chastise the hypocrites who would never have backed Chaplin when he was under fire--didn't really say much of anything. She simply thanked the Academy and walked off the stage, showing far more class than to indulge in the liberal sanctimony which has marked the affair in years past. I hope she boycotted the post-awards parties as well...
