This attitude toward the slow pace of dump cleanups is part of a broad public sense that Government is failing to respond adequately to environmental concerns in general. Some 45% of those polled said that current laws to protect the environment do not go far enough, while 29% are satisfied with them and 16% think they go "too far." Fully 63% feel that even the inadequate governmental protections are not being enforced strictly enough by the agencies involved...

Last week the Nicaraguan Foreign Ministry charged that the border forces...
...macabre. The jokes are mostly preposterous self-justifications or savage put-downs of those near by. It is hard for an audience to laugh at Iceman without feeling it is further belittling these shriveled lives. Indeed, during a tryout at the Kennedy Center in Washington, spectators seemed to respond to the play's bleakness, not its raucous...
