...work gangs attempted to scoop up the sticky scum on beaches and in inlets, dismayed marine biologists and fishermen were already giving a fairly bleak assessment of the long-term damage. Because the Amoco Cadiz's oil is lighter and was released closer to the French shore than that from the Torrey Canyon, which blackened the English coast a decade ago, it had spread faster and penetrated deeper into Brittany's many inlets and estuaries. Even farther out to sea many food fish, except possibly sole, which stay near the bottom, will be contaminated. The season...
...officials determined to undo the damage inflicted by 23 nuclear tests. All sorts of debris was scooped off the beaches and dumped out at sea. Swaths of local jungle were cleared so that some 50,000 new coconut trees could be planted. Forty cement houses were built along the shore of the lagoon, and an Atomic Energy Commission spokesman declared that there was "virtually no radiation left." After a generation of exile, the first 100 of the Bikini islanders contentedly settled down in their new homes, at peace at last...

The Rhodesians opened fire, and Canberra and Hawker Hunter jets soon joined the battle. So began Rhodesia's first admitted "external" (i.e., incursion) into Zambian territory-a two-day raid that destroyed an arms cache and a command camp of Joshua Nkomo's 8,000-man guerrilla army. Rhodesia announced that the "self-defense" raid...
Finally, the U.S. should announce, and carry out, a program of aggressively buying up dollars, borrowing all the foreign currency it can from central banks to make the purchases. Such intervention alone would not shore up the dollar for long; it would succeed only if backstopped by effective energy and anti-inflation policies. But it probably is essential to break the psychology of fear that has gripped exchange markets...
