...YEAR OF THE WHALE, by Victor B. Scheffer. The most awesome of mammals has been left alone by literary men almost since Moby Dick. Now Dr. Scheffer, a scientist working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, writes of the whale's life cycle with a mixture of fact and feeling that evokes Melville's memory...

An alternate solution-getting the gravel from river bottoms -poses yet another problem. The future of migratory fish like salmon, which lay their eggs in stream bottoms, will be endangered. In short, the fabulous oil strike might turn the tundra into a nightmarish wasteland...
