...colonial "myth that we wrote into law" and grant entrance to every Commonwealth emigrant who seeks to settle there. It is a realization that both major British parties share; in fact, under a 1962 law, immigration is already severely limited. It is restricted mainly to persons whose relatives already reside in Britain and to those who have received official work permits, which are issued at the rate of about 160 a week. In addition, there is a special quota for Pakistani and Indian refugees from East Africa, where black racist regimes are discriminating cruelly against residents of Asian ancestry. Commonwealth...

About 40 ranchers flew off to a Venezuelan army training base, where they got automatic rifles, bazookas and instruction in how to use them.

...present. "It is not only our bodies that are primitive, but also our customs," Washburn writes. "They are not adapted to the crowded, technical world, dominated by a fantastic acceleration of scientific knowledge. There is a fundamental difficulty in the fact that contemporary human groups are led by primates whose evolutionary history dictates a strong desire to dominate. Attempts to build personal or international relations on the wishful basis that people will not be aggressive is as futile as it would be to try to build the institution of banking with no auditing on the basis that all employees will...
