Unhappily, violence in international relations is burgeoning both in frequency and scope. Hannah Arendt warns that "the amount of violence at the disposal of a given country may no longer be a reliable indication of that country's strength or a reliable guarantee against destruction by a substantially smaller and weaker power." "Destruction" may be too strong a word, but it is true that the old balances between large and small states are changing. As Yale Political Scientist William J.

If everything goes according to plan, the aquanauts hope to complete underwater biological and geological studies, learn more about diving and sonar techniques and supply medical and behavioral data that will help scientists plan the longer manned space flights of the future...

The median age of Bowery residents today...

But the dreaded locust swarms of ill fortune will soon be seen darkening rock's horizons when the record companies jack up their lp prices to four and five dollars later in the next month. Slightly longer then a year ago records went for $2.40 apiece. Who's going to buy them when they cost twice as much? The people who have twice as much money--the guys who are twice as old as we are.
