...changed only through democratic means. Recently the Republic has sought to intercept clandestine arms shipments into both north and south. In November 7,000 Irish troops and police launched Operation Mallard, an extensive search through 50,000 homes near the border and in large cities like Dublin. The haul: four I.R.A. fugitives and a cache of 22 rifles, 15 revolvers, 13 shotguns, 4,000 rounds of ammunition and 25 bombs. They also found three I.R.A. underground bunkers, one of them as big as a house and equipped with electricity and ventilation. Early last month the Irish ratified a European treaty...

Relief officials estimate they need nearly 300 additional trucks to haul food from distribution centers to rural areas, but the Mengistu regime has thus far provided only 100.

"We are enslaved," says Rashad Shawwa, 79, mayor of Gaza, who was twice removed from office by Israeli officials. "We have become the servants of Israel...
Such measures, however, have not stopped the spread of PCBs. In the case of Texas Eastern, the firm agreed in 1982 to clean the PCBs out of its compressors and haul the material to approved landfills. But the company continued to remove other residues -- some of which also contained high levels of PCBs -- from its pipelines. The EPA found PCB-laced sludge buried in rough pits at 89 company properties...
