...should anyone care about the land mollusk, or even the Southern bald eagle? Because, as ecologists keep repeating, all species are interrelated in the biological pyramid. Destroying one can adversely affect many others. A prime example is Australia's Great Barrier Reef, which is being eaten away by starfish. Some scientists speculate that the ecological balance was upset when man began to remove their natural predators...
...efficient dispatch of the starfish convinced Wickler and the Talbots that the painted shrimp, in sufficient numbers, might quickly bring the crown-of-thorns under control and end the threat to Pacific reefs. Although the shrimp are not common around Australia's Great Barrier Reef and other threatened areas, they could be mass-produced in laboratories and set free in the ocean; a single female, laying between 100 and 200 eggs at a time, can theoretically produce a new generation of adult shrimps every 18 days...
...contrast, other methods of containing the crown-of-thorns seem hopelessly inadequate. Divers have already injected thousands of the creatures off Pacific reefs with lethal solutions of formaldehyde, but the population continues to explode. Indeed, Australian scientists recently reported that the starfish have so seriously damaged the Great Barrier Reef that it will take at least 20 years to recover...
...between people and that he as producer-director is responsil?le for coordinating two groups. the actors and the spectators. He doesn't touch people but is very concerned with the psychic communication involved. His method of rchearsal which he calls via negativa, is a stripping away of any barrier between the actor and the spectutor: he says that even the text is a barrer because it is just one more metaphor separating and so it too must be made subservient to the actor-spectator relationship.

...barrier is the lack of a strong female contingent in labor unions. Though more than two out of five workers are women, only one out of five union members is a woman. Detroit's outspoken Labor Leader Myra Wolfgang figures that men labor chiefs-harboring some old prejudices-really believe that women are overly individualistic, selfish and impulsive and lack the discipline to forgo immediate benefits in order to work for long-range organizational goals. To those indictments women reply that men are the unfair...
