Perhaps significantly, though, at no time did the Kremlin specifically deny that a Soviet sub-or subs-might have been inside Norwegian waters. At week's end, the mystery remained at least as deep as Sogne Fjord's 600 fathoms...

Only last month, finally, did the ministry of labor, which deals with environmental problems, get around to investigating. It found that the vats contained between...

So he joined with another Belgian firm and made new arrangements. In Hasselt, for example, he left 50 tons of lethal chemicals in a shed just 100 yards from the Albert Canal, which supplies Antwerp with its drinking water...
