...view gained credibility last week as South Yemen, taking advantage of a long-simmering border dispute, launched an all-out attack on its more populous but militarily weaker northern neighbor, pro-Saudi North Yemen (The Yemen Arab Republic). A ceasefire, hastily worked out by Syria and Iraq, went into effect at week's end, but there was no certainty about how long it would last...
...when the plan was finally put to a vote in Scotland and Wales last week, it was turned down. Welsh voters, fearing that the practical effect of limited self-rule would be the creation of a costly new bureaucracy, rejected the idea by a 4-to-1 margin. Still, the big surprise came in Scotland, where as recently as a month ago opinion polls showed voters favoring devolution by almost 2 to 1.

In addition, the actual numbers are small: 32 leukemia deaths in high-fallout counties, vs. 13 that might normally have been expected. But if the increase was not caused by the fallout, he asks, "What else could account...
...such statistics prove a cause-and-effect link between low-level radiation and cancer? To answer this and other questions about radiation hazards, President Carter in 1978 appointed an interagency investigative task force. Last week the team of scientists, lawyers and bureaucrats came to a troubling conclusion: while it conceded that researchers still cannot say for sure how much radiation is safe, it said that the amounts that they used to regard as safe apparently...
