More U.S. aid cannot stop the fighting. Only a negotiated settlement between Saigon and the Communists-or the currently implausible scenario of an unconditional surrender by one side or the other-can do that. Hanoi still yearns for a political victory in the South -meaning, in the words of one State Department official, "the imposition of a coalition government which the North Vietnamese would dominate...
...Bizarre Scenario. Sissela Bok, a lecturer on medical ethics at Harvard and M.I.T. and wife of Harvard President Derek Bok, is concerned about the "brutalization" of scientists and of society unless most research is banned on fetuses that might be viable (that is, able to live outside the womb). At what point fetuses become viable is, of course, a subject under hot dispute. Federal guidelines proposed in 1971 limited experiments to fetuses less than 500 grams in weight (one fetus that weighed only 395 grams has survived outside the womb...
Though this scenario for the beginning of the ice age has been well documented by fossil records, scientists have long been uncertain about what caused the cooling. Now, after studying cylindrical-core samples of ocean sediment dug up by the deep-sea drilling ship Glomar Challenger, two University of Rhode Island researchers have found evidence that may help provide the answer. The telltale position of layers of volcanic ash found in the cores by Geologists James Kennett and Robert Thunell suggests that the first great ice age could have been set off by a worldwide series of volcanic eruptions...
...Easy Way. That unhappy scenario is being played out now. Hit by sharp inflation, recession and unemployment, the real purchasing power of Americans has declined by 5.2% in the past year. Sales volume has fallen, and corporate profits plunged by 21% from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of last year. Manufacturers in the fourth quarter cut their capital-spending appropriations by 24%. Today the nation's factories and machines are operating well below capacity, and productivity during the fourth quarter fell at an annual rate...
Cranks and Bunkers. For this scenario, the Milan theft would be ideal -minor works by famous names, such as Cézanne's Thieves and the Donkey (see color page), that not one person in 10,000 would remember seeing on the museum wall years before. The chains of documentation for sales of art works are still remarkably weak. But sometimes a thief blunders and takes something unsalably famous. Siviero claims this is what happened in 1971, with the theft of Masaccio's Madonna with Child and Memling's Portrait of a Gentleman from Palazzo Vecchio...
