the coastal nation within the margins of a "boundary zone" extending oceanward from the approximate base of the slope for an internationally agreed distance (Hedberg recom- mends at least 100 kilometers-54 nautical miles). Such a boundary zone would bypass uncertainties in defining the precise location of the base of the slope and allow the final boundary to be drawn simple straight lines connecting fixed points of latitude and longitude. Hedberg suggests that the boundary concept be used...

The interplay between science and politics in the United States is an- alyzed in this essay Lyons, dean of the faculty at Dartmouth Col- lege.

"A well-developed personal identity is indispensable to effective pastoral min- istry," Kennedy writes, yet many priests continue to think of them- selves "in the third person,"...

means of spontaneous abortion. To Haring, it seems "shocking" that rhythm, recently endorsed again the Church, should in application produce a vast number of zygotes (fertilized eggs not yet implanted in the wall of the womb) lacking the vitality for survival.
Interruption of the life process between fertilization and implanta- tion, he says, lacks the "gravity or malice" that attends abortion of an individualized embryo. But Haring concludes that the new medical evidence (already...

China's fast-growing petroleum industry-315 million barrels produced in 1972, increasing 20-25 percent annually-has attracted attention in the West especially since the 1973-74 energy crisis.

1962, Nkrumah had gone on the political defensive. He re- versed his nationalist policies and deliberately fostered ethnic differ- ences in the military and elsewhere to divide his political foes.

Nkrumah's last ditch supporters were almost all northerners, whom he had favored with top army and police posts, or members of Nkrumah's own...
