...High Commissioner for Refugees, Denmark's Poul Hartling, received a pledge from the participating nations that they would take in 250,000 refugees this year. The promises of help, in fact, got under way before the conference. Canada announced earlier in the week that it would accept 50,000 refugees by the end of 1980, Britain that it would absorb 10,000 from overcrowded Hong Kong. The U.S. had already increased its quota from 7,000 to 14,000 a month...

And one of the few female science fiction novelists. Anne McCaffrey, examines the lack of glamour and romance in science fiction...
Next week the Danes will head for the polls to elect their second Folketing (Parliament) in 13 months to decide how much welfare and inflation they will tolerate. The right-of-center minority government of Premier Poul Hartling, 60, called for elections last month after failing to muster a majority for a one-year freeze on wages, prices and profits. Although the bland, schoolmasterly Hartling has by no means attracted a large popular following, his Liberal Party (according to the latest polls) may win as much as 30% of the vote-compared with 12.3% in December 1973.
