...odors, Monsanto itself goes to the opposite extreme. As soon as any employee smells something bad, he is asked to dial A-I-R on the factory phone.

Last week Hickel announced a long-term financing plan to help municipalities control water pollution by building up-to-date sewage plants. He has plunged into the Santa Barbara oil-leak fiasco and ruled that offshore drillers must bear unlimited liability for causing pollution and harming marine life-a big surprise from an alleged pawn of the oil companies.

The opening speaker on the second day was a delegate from Paraguay, who launched an attack on the Chinese. The first nasty epithet was scarcely out of his mouth before Rumania's Ceausescu was scribbling a reply on the notepad in front of him and demanding the floor. The Rumanians had made clear that they would attend the summit only on the understanding that the internal affairs of any Communist Party, present or absent, would...
