...power across the Bering Strait for Canada and the U.S. It is not so wild a dream. Already the Russians have built the world's largest dams on the Yenisei and Angara rivers at Krasnoyarsk and Bratsk, and a third one is going up at Ust-Ilimsk (see map page 39). The riches of Siberia may well figure largely in China's border dispute with the Soviet Union. Other governments, including the U.S. and Japan, are also eying Siberia's resources for commercial development...
...library's bottom two levels will be devoted to stack space for books now housed in Widener, Houghton, and Lamont--the University Archives, the Map Collection, the Theater Collection and about 1 million miscellaneous books. "What will be going into the Pusey Library already exists," Robert Walsh says. "There will be no new staff or new books--just more space. We've had to move several things out of Widener in the past for space reasons. Just in the last few years we've taken out the music, art, history of education, landscape architecture and current science collections and housed...
...lack of comedy hurts most. Chekov's plays burst with heartbreaking comedy, the comedy of a dying class whose suffering and humanity are not less because it deserves to die. Even the stage directions are comic. "There is also a map of Africa on the wall, obviously of no use to anybody."

In the Boston...
Britain's Anthony Sampson forecasts a dramatically revised political map of Europe. It might shape up as "a world of multinational corporations, making a technological sweep through Europe as another Holy Roman Empire." Central governments would shrink; neglected provinces would return "to their historic roles as the heart of Europe. Alsace, as it once was, could become a separate entity equal to Paris." In this vision of provinces as power blocs, forgotten regions would become a kind of European Third World, playing off the central bureaucracy in Brussels against their own national capitals. The Scots, in fact, have already...
When, if ever, might the European map begin to be redrawn along the lines that the regionalists envision? Some experimental steps have already been taken. The bulk of the loans granted to Italy by the Brussels-based European Investment Bank, whose funds come from the EEC countries, has been channeled into the Italian mezzogiorno-a model that might inspire other efforts at transnational cooperation. Still, there is little indication that Europe's central governments-a tribe unto themselves -are ready to yield significant power, whatever the case for a regional politics. They stick by not only De Gaulle...
