Today 300,000-ton behemoths ply the sea, and larger ships are planned. As the Torrey Canyon dramatically demonstrated in 1967, one ship can cause a major calamity. In the past five years 94 tankers have foundered; two collisions occur every week. Then there is the rising risk of dangerous pollution from offshore oil wells.

...major development in religious education will be the ''cluster seminary," modeled on the successful Graduate Theological Union on "Holy Hill" in Berkeley. Founded only seven years ago, G.T.U. now includes nine seminaries and seven associated centers, including Episcopal, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran and Unitarian institutions, and three theological schools of Roman Catholic religious orders: Jesuit, Dominican and Franciscan.
