...midst of all its other problems -from the tax cut to civil rights-the Senate of the U.S. last week found time to take up two bills that are essentially wartime measures. Wartime, that is, for the U.S. fishing industry. Across the world's oceans in recent months, dozens of fishing nations have battled in a series of "fish wars"-usually nonviolent but sometimes under gunpoint-that have important economic and political consequences for the nations involved (see color pages). As one of the participants, the $381 million U.S. fishing industry has turned to the Government for the help...
...Brazilians and the French have vied with gunboats over Brittany lobster boats working in traditional Brazilian fishing waters. Icelandic gunboats chased British trawlers from Iceland's cod grounds, and the Danes are shooing them away from the Faeroe Islands. Norway is chasing Swedish fishermen from grounds that the Swedes have fished for hundreds of years. Japanese boats are barred from South Korea, badgered by the Russians in the North Pacific. Irish corvettes have scattered Dutchmen and Belgians from Ireland's herring grounds, and Canada last year ordered a Russian fleet out of the Bay of Fundy. Even...

Berberian sang Circles, a free and atonal composition by her husband, Luciano Berio, in which even punctuation marks in an E. E. Cummings poem have musical counterparts-an aspirate gasp, for example, indicating an exclamation point. Warsaw was delighted...
Since June, when he took over the column after the death of Vaudine Newell, its previous expert, Goldberg has dealt one shock after another to the essentially feminine realm of the kitchen. He seems intent on turning dinner into a binge: fish a la Goldberg is poached in gin, hens are baked in beer, and the glazing of apples is less important than fortifying the cook ("If you'd like to get a little glazed yourself, pour a shot of rum or brandy in"). Some of his recipes read like calisthenic exercises: "Now add the vanilla and beat! beat...
