...Where a press is not free to go, we shall remain uniformed. And the greater guilt lies with the Communist and Third World countries who, increasingly, are seeking to reduce the level of free reportage in these countries. At this moment, there are resolutions by these countries in UNESCO on the "responsibilities" of joirnalists--by which they mean not to report what is observed...
...biological enclaves, long despoiled by pirates and passing sailors, are still under attack. Thousands of peering, prodding, picture-taking tourists now visit the Galápagos annually, at considerable risk to the islands' frail ecology.

"We concede that an imbalance of information exists in some parts of the world," says U.P.I...
...perpetuate "cultural imperialism." The officials prefer to go it alone. To that end, Third World representatives will meet later this month in Kinshasa to lay plans for expanding their press pool. And they are almost certain to reintroduce last fall's defeated press-control proposal at the 1978 UNESCO general conference in Paris...
