...constantly complains that the U.S. Senate is being ignored, Arkansas Senator J.W. Fulbright consistently manages to grab a remarkable amount of national attention. He was at his testy best again last week. He took on the Administration, charging that it had "tailored and even changed facts" in rushing a renewal agreement with Spain concerning the use of U.S. military bases there. He also assailed the television industry for doing as much to expand the powers of the presidency "as would a constitutional amendment formally abolishing the [other two] branches of Government."

Last week the Senate voted overwhelmingly to offer $1 billion (over a twelve-year period) but only 10 million acres. The next step...
...production from the seas should quadruple. By 1980, deep wells in the seabeds may supply more than a third of the world's oil. Some day the oceans will provide most of man's metals. Yet all this raises troubling questions: How can the coming rush to grab the watery wealth be controlled? To whom do the oceans' riches legally belong? Most important, can the seas be developed peacefully...
