Inescapable Implication. Hoxha's feud with Britain went beyond diplomatic skirmishing. Last May the British cruisers Orion and Superb were cruising in the Strait of Corfu, a 2-to 15-mile-wide corridor between Albania and the Greek island of Corfu. An Albanian shore battery opened fire, missed. Last month the Royal Navy destroyers Saumarez and Volage, cruising in the same Strait, ran into mines, were crippled. Casualties totaled 38 dead, 50 injured. British indignation was heated. Said a high-ranking Royal Navy officer: "There's no difference between this and bombing the British Home Fleet at Scapa...

Lord, make the nations see That men should brothers be, And form one family The wide world...
...family system. "Juvenal saw this happening," says Zimmerman, "when he wrote that the object of Roman men of the time was to make their neighbors' bedsprings creak." Seeing similar signs of breakdown today, the professor feels that the larger problem can be attacked best through an attempt to shore up the foundation of the family system upon which our society is based. Specifically, he proposes a national standardization of family law, in place of our present 48-state hodge-podge, and the setting up of a Supreme Court devoted to family law.
