...representatives of Greenpeace and other organizations said the scientific evidence may be full of blow holes. In addition, they said, Norway's economy does not rely on the whale trade, and whale meat only appeals to a very small market of affluent Japanese...

This spring the requirement was extended to "secondary packaging" such as cardboard boxes for toothpaste or deodorants.

In mid-1995 German manufacturers will be responsible for collecting 80% of their packaging waste. Augmenting the government's program is the Duales System Deutschland, a private-industry-initiative recycling program that has already distributed collection bins to more than half of Germany...

Unlike Evans, however, Nall gave up college eligibility to turn pro. She took $30,000 in stipends from U.S. swimming officials, plus $10,000 for setting two world records at the team trials. That money is a trickle compared with what will come if she wins the 100-m and 200-m breaststroke and adds a gold in the medley...
