To meet this year's HEW standards, the new control devices must reduce the emission of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, major sources of automotive pollution, by 60% and 50% respectively. But even this improvement will be more than counterbalanced as the number of U.S. cars increases each year. Faced...

Aiming at something like Is Paris Burning?, a more exciting account of a threatened city, Author Tutaev, who is a specialist in Russian affairs living in England, sets down what he has unearthed with workaday, amateurish zeal. But the facts are eloquent enough. In 1955, Gerhard Wolf, Nazi, was made an honorary citizen of Florence and cited for "acts of incalculable courage, humanity, sense of brotherhood and Christian feeling...
