...Pacific a decade ago. Since then it has laid waste to 100 sq. mi. of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest and most impressive collection of underwater coral formations. It has also destroyed nearly 22 miles of Guam's coral barrier. Marine biologists report similar starfish damage off Saipan, Fiji and the western Solomons. In only five years, says Oceanographer R. D. Gaul of San Diego's Westinghouse Ocean Research Laboratory, the starfish can destroy a coral atoll that may have taken thousands of years to form...
Double Jeopardy? Conceivably, the inquest could disclose evidence of criminal negligence in Mary Jo's death. After Judge Boyle files his report, Dinis might go to a grand jury. If Kennedy is ever indicted, it will be difficult to find a juror who has not been "prejudiced" by something he heard on TV or read in the newspapers about the inquest. On the other hand, there already has been considerable publicity of this kind. If his lawyers do not obtain an injunction, Kennedy could invoke the Fifth Amendment at the inquest and avoid giving answers, but he is unlikely...
Some people think that Kennedy's rights are being violated. They point out that when the Senator came to the Edgartown police station to report the accident, he was not warned of his rights to remain silent and to have a lawyer. However, many law experts, including Harvard Law Professor Livingston Hall, believe that the Supreme Court's Miranda decision would not require the warnings in Kennedy's case. Hall points to a passage in the decision that reads: "There is no requirement that police stop a person who enters a police station and states that...
Joseph Gargan and Paul Markham, who were with the Senator after the accident but have been silent so far, will probably be called to testify. The fact that both are lawyers complicates the matter. Unless they plead the Fifth Amendment, they will be required to report all they saw that night. If they claim that a lawyer-client relationship existed between them and Kennedy, they still must testify, but they may not, by law, be asked to relate their conversations with Kennedy unless the Senator agrees to let them. To prove such a relationship, they must show that Kennedy asked...
Satellites and Field Scouts. Nine years ago, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations launched a program to check locust "plagues." Weather satellites and air spotters began to track locust concentrations and swarms. A system of field scouts was set up in 42 countries to report locust whereabouts. The Anti-Locust Research Center, established in London in 1921, coordinates this information and forecasts locusts' flight direction. Local governments dispatch spray planes to meet the hordes or treat breeding areas...
