Part of the problem is that to the young, the adult world sets only a hypocritical example. Parents warn their children against pot, which most kids find harmless. Many of the young smoke marijuana and leave it at that, although Dr. Louria warns that "if a young person smokes marijuana on more than ten occasions, the chances are one in five that he will go on to more dangerous drugs." As Larry Alan Bear, New York City's addiction services commissioner, sees it: "In some cases, the attitude toward the straight world is, 'Look, you kill yourselves with cigarettes...
...Taylor in his office-the underside of his desk filling two-thirds of the frame-is troubling by virtue of its compositional imbalance, not its overtly ironic content. Particularly in interior scenes, Antonioni recognizes that destruction of form within a Panavision screen can be used thematically, for example to warn against America's depersonalized computer jungles. In this he becomes the thinking man's Frank Tashlin ( Bachelor Flat, The Girl Can't Help It ), who also revels in the natural excess of the wide screen and applies it to similar subjects: mechanical courtship, distortion of props, vistas of commercialized cityscapes...
...nearly 110 French Mirages and trainers to Libya. U.S. officials insisted that the Abu Zabal raid would not delay the decision. But a postponement would surprise nobody, for Nixon is bound to be faulted no matter what he decides.

If Nixon refuses to sell the jets, the Israelis might be tempted to mount a major offensive before their neighbors have time to gain military seniority. Only last week, Dayan...
...unduly sanguine analyses from the field may once again be misleading the nation. The document was prepared by James G. Lowenstcin and Richard M. Moose, both former foreign service officers who are considered moderates of a mildly dovish persuasion. They visited Viet Nam for eleven days in December. They warn that the yardsticks used to measure progress in Viet Nam consist of "far more ambiguous, confusing and contradictory evidence than pronouncements from Washington and Saigon indicate." Adds the report: "A visitor to Viet Nam can easily find evidence to support any case he wishes to make." Other observations...
...From an estimated 5,000,000 people 8,000 years ago, the world population rose to 1 billion by 1850, 2 billion about 1930, and now stands at 3.5 billion. Current projections run to 7 billion by the year 2000. Neo-Malthusians like Stanford Population Biologist Paul Ehrlich grimly warn that the biosphere cannot sustain that many people. As Ehrlich puts it: "There can only be death, war, pestilence and famine to reduce the number...
