...tempted by better jobs and living conditions across the border. Now 76, Ulbricht might not be on the scene much longer, but the two men most likely to succeed him, Premier Willi Stoph, 55, and Deputy Party Chief Erich Honecker, 57, are likely to follow the same course. Yet neither Ulbricht nor his heirs can overlook the fact that some day perhaps the Soviets and other East Bloc comrades may become weary of allowing East Germany's leaders to stand in the way of a long-overdue relaxation of tensions in Central Europe...
...Treasury agents, aircraft and Coast Guard boats that have been swarming on, over and around the 2,500-mile border since September 21 made only 500 arrests and seized just two tons of marijuana by the end of last week.

...combustion chambers. A dashboard control permits the driver to switch from natural gas in polluted areas to regular gasoline on the open road. With natural gas, the company claims, engine oil lasts up to a year, sparkplugs fire for 50,000 miles, and valve jobs are usually unnecessary.

...zero," says Seismologist Lynn Sykes of Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory. He and other scientists think that a less dangerous method of earthquake control might be to pump liquid into a fault region. Such fluids would relieve stresses by acting, in part, as underground lubricants. Yet this method also poses dangers. In the Denver area, for example, recent shocks were apparently triggered by the disposal of chemical wastes in deep underground wells...
