...Strain is its biological brother. By mixing fact with Crichton's only too probable fantasy, his novel locates itself in a never-never world of secret government installations. It is the revelation of purported government secrets that make the book so compelling. For example, if a contaminated satellite falls within the Soviet or Eastern Bloc territory the United States had decided not to inform the Russians of what had happened. "The basis of this decision was the prediction that a Russian plague would kill between two and five million people, while combined Soviet-American losses from a thermonuclear exchange involving...
...Within two weeks after set sail the London Sunday Times's round-the-world yacht race last October, Donald Crowhurst's 41 -foot trimaran, the Teign-mouth Electron, had started falling apart. The lacing on the boom snapped, the port forward hatch sprang a leak, and then his generator went out, leaving him without electricity for three days. While his boat disintegrated with the pounding of heavy seas, the sailor's sanity, strained as it was by the loneliness of the solo odyssey and haunted by the specter of fail ure, also began to fall apart...
Elsewhere, most sexual relations out side marriage - and some within - are criminal offenses. Adultery and forni cation are commonly outlawed.

Within a changing Catholicism, the African church itself is changing, seeking to break its identification with the colonial past and to find its place within the emerging nations (see box, page 65). The Church is growing so fast that realistic estimates of its adherents range from 30 million to 40 million-by far the largest Christian body in Africa. As Rome has turned over control of missionaries to some 320 local dioceses and 28 episcopal conferences, the church in Africa has become more autonomous. But it must still depend heavily on outside financial support...
...pure humanism and of religion-in an almost planetary sense. In an era in which most people accept violence as the way life is, Ginsberg has managed to remain fervently gentle. If he still calls for nothing less than a complete revolution, he also insists that his role within it will be a compassionate and bloodless one. "I'm willing to die for freedom," he told an interviewer recently, "but I'm not willing to kill for it." Such a distinction, and the commitment to it, seems to make sense to a considerable number of Americans-especially...
