...Milanese clothing manufacturer. Ferretti is a last-minute replacement for Baron Roger de Cabrol, who is sick. "We wanted to call the band Euro-trash," Stein says, "but, instead, they're called the Greencards." He is grinning: a green card is the Government document issued to resident aliens...
...policy." But Ford is able to chronicle this manipulation and bureaucratic blindness precisely because there always was some dissent within the A.E.C. Scores of scientists spoke candidly to him of the actual dangers involved; one A.E.C. scientist explained to Ford that he was not allowed to release a damaging document, and then proceeded to drop the document into a nearby trash can, commenting that he would not notice if Ford removed...

Granted, there is a need to redress the communications imbalance, but to do so with a document that threatens freedom of the press, splits universal support and spells potential disaster for a worthy international organization seems absolutely foolish. UNESCO would be wise to see the proposed "new information order" for the facade for government control of the media that it really is. Otherwise, it could wind...
