...Boyne in 1690. That victory established Britain's hegemony over the Emerald Isle, which continues in Northern Ireland even though the South broke away and formed the Republic of Ireland in 1921. The Boyne also set a pattern of religious hostility over which Ulstermen are still ready to spill blood. Though the prolongation of so ancient a feud may be a puzzle to the 1,000,000 Protestants and the 500,000 Catholics, it is the stuff of their everyday lives (see box, following page...

Hundreds of construction workers and an estimated $40 million worth of heavy equipment stand idle in the thin spring sunshine: 150 miles of 48-in. steel pipe are rusting in stockpiles near Valdez. Last week Alaska Governor Keith Miller led a delegation of 150 men to Washington, where they lobbied hard for two days. By the time they flew home, they had encountered failure and success-both at the hands of Walter...
