...manage the land from afar; herders are being relocated and it's now forbidden to graze on badly hit areas. The slow process of regrowth has started in limited areas, and the sand storms hitting Beijing have been less severe in the last few years. Though some scientists chalk uo the latter to fluctuations in weather, others say it's a sign that the grasslands are starting to return to health. "Maybe some places are getting better, but some places are getting worse," says Jiang Gaoming, a plant ecologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences...

Harvard fosters insomnia, fuels it and powers it. With a reading period which quickly turns into one very long day in which there is nothing to uo distinguish one twenty-four hour period from the next, not to mention libraries that stay open until one in the morning or that don't bother closing at all (and house libraries that don't even open until one in the afternoon), it's pretty easy to become nocturnal...

...spite of what we hear from the Women's Liberation Front, men do not have absolute control over the direction in which society grows. The female population is large: if they did not at least taci?? support the status ?uo. it would evolve into something different. It is impossible to write off the pronaganda about "a woman's place" as a male conspiracy. The next time you happen to pass a garbage can, rummage through for a copy of Woman's Day or Family Circle. It simply is not men who come up with articles about what a kick...

That is a truth that moderate and liberal leaders must recognize. Even so, it is equally true that the "underclass"-the blacks, the Mexican Americans and others-have even more reason to feel left out. They too are fed uo, with justice delayed and promises deferred-a fact that Cartoonist John Fischetti expressed in a drawing of an anonymous black imitating the President's "up to here" gesture. Yet viewed rationally, the long-range interests (if not the short-term problems) of the two sides coincide. The slums suffer more from crime and disorder than the suburbs, and blacks...

...other high-frequency plaintext vowels, a, i and o, tend to avoid one another. A contact chart would show that three of the most common letters in the ciphertext -O, U and A-are the most mutually exclusive. OA appears twice, OU once, and UO, UA, AO and AU not at all. But NU appears five times in the cryptogram. It happens that the most frequent English vowel diagraph is ea. Thus it is a good bet that U = a. Similarly, since the combination io is most frequent among the three dissident vowels in English, assume that it is represented...
