...with a nativist suspicion of Demel and his new methods. Claridad, official newspaper of the pro-independence Puerto Rican Socialist Party, refers to Demel as the "Jew Cuban," and local planters refer to April-Agro as "the Israelis." The English-language San Juan Star, in urging the Governor to delay action against the experimental farm, pointed to "a deep-seated resentment against 'outside' farmers changing the way agriculture has been traditionally carried out." Hernández-Colón has stayed out of the dispute while his agriculture secretary attempts to negotiate a "painless" takeover of April-Agro. If that happens, Demel...
...Soviets' newest space station. Normally, the Soviets announce space shots only after they have been safely launched. Though last week's "live" telecast appeared to be risky--what if something had gone wrong?--the Soviets actually hedged their bet.

Together they make up a loose network opposed to what they consider the devastation of natural resources in a part of the country where snowmelt from the Himalayas irrigates rivers throughout China and Southeast Asia. Already the network has helped delay approval of two impoundments on the upper Yangtze and Salween rivers. Yet in taking on state-run companies and political interests, the environmentalists face daunting odds.
