...Energy section we describe the planned journey south of the first oil to flow through the Alaskan pipeline, which will go into service this week after the spending of $9 billion and more than three years of construction. The story was written by John S. DeMott, with the help of Reporter-Researcher Gail Perlick. No one knows exactly when the pioneer ribbon of oil will reach the end of its nearly 800-mile trip or, strangely enough, where all of it will go after it gets there. The economic and political implications of the various plans being made to refine...
...background: During the negotiations leading up to the Helsinki agreement, the Western powers induced Moscow to accept the so-called Basket III clauses, pledging a free flow of people and information. In addition, the agreement contained a sweeping declaration to respect human rights. The Soviets complied in exchange for things they wanted: the Basket I and II declarations on military, economic and technological cooperation. The Russians evidently thought no one would hold them to their pledges.

There has also been much counter-propaganda on human rights, ranging from the legitimate to the preposterous.

The bloc did succeed, however, in gaining UNESCO backing for a new Third World press pool that would supplement-and, some press libertarians fear, eventually supplant-the Western wire services in those countries. Says H.L. Stevenson, editor and vice president of U.P.I...
Play in Peoria. They also complain that the Western press completely overlooks Third World news of importance to Third World readers-which means that, because Western news organizations dominate the international flow of information, such news often goes unreported. "If a new steel mill is built in Mexico, that fact is very newsworthy in Mexico," says Roger Tatarian, professor of journalism at the University of California's Fresno campus. "It is not necessarily of much interest in Peoria...
