...rupture of the Torrey Canyon off the English coast, both of which devastated marine life. While the Tampico carried partially refined and relatively volatile diesel oil, the oil seeping up into Santa Barbara Channel was unrefined crude, which is considerably less lethal. More over, the Santa Barbara oil spill was spread over a vast expanse of sea and did not wash up onto the beaches immediately. Much of it lingered on the waves before wind and tide carried it ashore. In the interim, it apparently lost much of its potency. In the case of the Torrey Canyon, the real killers...
...economic front, limited innovation, such as the introduction of a form of the profit motive and expansion of managerial authority, is being attempted to improve output and efficiency. But Soviet-style Communists resist any thoroughgoing reform for fear that economic liberalization might spill over into social and political areas. Soviet Communism remains in command throughout most of Eastern Europe, constitutes the major influence on the French party, and controls a number of minor "pocket parties" such as the one in the U.S. and nearly all of the small Middle Eastern and Latin American parties...
Causes for concern persist, of course. Police in Chicago worry about a continuation of the snipings and gang shoot-outs that have claimed 29 lives since the beginning of the year.

One last review before...
...troop shortage means that the alliance could not contain a Soviet thrust by conventional means and would thus have to resort almost at once to nuclear weapons. Though the possibility of direct So->~a aggression remains highly unlikely, NATO commanders nevertheless worry about "what-if" situations that could spill over into Western European soil. What if, for example, a revolt by the Czechoslovak army led to fighting that saw Soviet troops pursuing the Czechoslovaks into West Germany? Similarly, a Soviet move into the so-called gray areas of Yugoslavia or Austria would pose a threat to NATO. A strong conventional...
