...result of the ceasefire; in fact, the U.S. has already sent some new electronic anti-missile gear to the Israeli air force. Israel got in one last psychological lick by making public its intelligence photos of the alleged violations (see box opposite).

As it is, the major whalers-particularly the Russians-steadfastly refuse to allow international observers to inspect their operations, so no one is sure that quotas are not sometimes exceeded...
