Mandel, who lives in Brussels and edits the militantly leftist weekly La Gauche (circ. 5,000), has written a number of books. His most recent is a two-volume work titled Marxist Economic Theory. Critics both in the U.S. and abroad have praised the book's fresh, undoctrinaire approach to Marxism, and the Economist felt that "no student can afford to ignore this very important work." Mandel's ideas may clash with American beliefs, but there is something absurd in the whole Mc-Carran Act notion that the U.S. must be protected from dangerous alien contamination by keeping...
Clear Lake, Calif., is a shallow, 40,000-acre body of fresh water that lies about 100 miles north of San Francisco. For centuries, it was home for a large colony of Western grebes, lovely birds that swim with the stately grace of swans and dive as skillfully as loons. But 15 years ago, in an environmental tragedy unwittingly perpetrated by man, large numbers of grebes began dying off, and the once-clear waters of the lake turned murky and green. Now, by introducing a new ecological cycle, scientists have saved Clear Lake's grebes and even clarified...

Durno was almost unbeatable, making 26 saves, and good back checking did the rest...
...Chronicle appears through what Russians call samizdat, which means self-publishing; it is a play on the Soviet term Gosizdat, the state publishing house. Behind closed doors, readers type copies of the newsletter, which they pass on to friends in chain-letter fashion. Fresh news items for the paper are sent back to the anonymous editors by the same chain of communication. Though anyone who copies or circulates the Chronicle faces severe penalties, ten issues of the Chronicle have appeared since it was launched in 1968. The front page of a recent issue carries a quotation from the U.N. Bill...
