...problems of acclimatization are expected: Davidson thrives on change, as his personal history at Time Inc. makes clear. A native New Mexican who went west to study international relations at Stanford and then traveled abroad extensively as a Marshall Plan worker, he joined TIME in 1954 and held a number of executive positions in Europe with the magazine's international editions. He moved to New York in 1967 as managing director of Time International, became an associate publisher of the entire magazine, and was named publisher in 1972. During his stewardship TIME has enjoyed a period of revenue growth...

The city and its officials have already received a pledge from Harvard to supply technical staff to the city's proposed paraquat testing program--the bone...
...broader scale, the federal government should cease all involvement in the Mexican government's herbicide war on the nation's marijuana fields. The U.S. State Department has promised to produce an environmental impact statement detailing the effects of Mexico's "drug-eradication" program on the United States; such token action remains an insufficient response to a growing problem affecting millions of marijuana users in this country. The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) filed a lawsuit last March 13 seeking an injunction to halt the herbicide spraying program pending the publication of the environmental impact statement...
