North Sea oil is low in sulfur content, and thus relatively nonpolluting. More important, it lies on Western Europe's doorstep; British Petroleum's "Forties" field (see map) is only 115 miles off the Scottish coast. By contrast, much Persian Gulf oil must now be hauled 11,000 miles by tanker around Africa before it reaches Europe. Fuel from the North Sea promises to supply 10% to 15% of Europe's energy needs by 1980-not enough to materially reduce dependence on the Mideast, but perhaps sufficient to enable the Continent to survive a brief shutoff...
Every year at this time a huge hot air mass rises out of Princeton, N.J. It has a curious origin. It's not one of Mother Nature's little whims brought on by margarine commercials and you'll never see it on any weather map.

Rosovsky's close personal interest in Japan is a result of 20 years of scholarship, five of which were spent in residence in Asia. In his office, he displays an eighteenth-century map of Japan and an 1860 drawing of the aal-time great Sumo wrestlers...

As I pointed out in my paper, only a search for the hypothetical probe can settle the questions raided by my interpretation-and the interpretation has aroused such interest that a search is to be undertaken...
...scars now remain in Kalkilya of that blistering June day in 1967 when Israel almost wiped it off the map. The old frontier is a rusting jumble of barbed wire and garbage, and the village has the same sleepy, slightly disheveled air that it had before. Men wearing the keffiyeh, the traditional black and white checkered headdress, sit around in circles drinking muddy Turkish coffee and playing shesh-besh (backgammon). The muezzin of the large Moslem mosque snoozes on a straw mat, waking periodically to give the wailing call to prayer...
