NEXT MONTH is World Environment Day and the UN Disarmament conference: any groups who are planning related events should get in touch and we'll give you a plug. We already have a considerable amount of stuff and might do a special actionpacked double issue. Especially, because we intend to increase our environmental coverage, in the absence of any other magazines in the area. Going monthly has cost more and also resulted in a subscription gap of three issues when we don't get any subscription renewals. So if you're thinking of subscribing, now's the time before the rates go up again. We are also introducing a supporting subscription of Â£1 which our more generous readers might like to take advantage of. And, if you've already subscribed, don't worry, you can still send a donation.

OMAN: The first oryx t o roam wild for ten years has been set free in a project initiated b y the IUCN and supported b y the World Wildlife Fund.

Archway Road protesters played a trick on Transport secretary David Howell recently. Under an assumed name, one wrote t o h i m offeringtoprovethathewas descended from a 10th-century Welsh prince called Hywel. Howell fell f o r it like a 44-tonne lorry and wrote back taking u p the offer. Subsequent press reports o n this are now being circulated t o all papers and politicians by a shadowy group calling themselves the'Archway Moderates' (believed t o have n o connection w i t h the SDP) with a scandalous cartoon revealing the powers behind Howell's 'throne'.

BELGIUM: A n important Step has been taken in energy conservation with the introduction o f an urban heating scheme in Chatelet (Charleroi). The new system recovers heat from the Calam ironworks and pipes it t o 30 public buildings. Plans are t o expand the heating system i f the ironworks remain in operation. Wise

The use of farm capital grants t o meet certain nature conservation requirements within schemes benefiting agriculture, the widening of the responsibilities o f

But it warns that the new measures will lead t o additional demandson its staff and funds and the NCC is concerned that it cannot always afford, for example, t o protect endangered sites.

Yet scant mention is made of, and no analysis given for, the effects poHtically controllable fattors such as land ownership rights, or freedom of speech or movement, have on resource availability, distribution and environmental impact. Such social parameters also chart the course of resource consumption in significant ways, and it is hardly fair for a global resource model to exclude influences that have such large impact. One of the three key assumptions of the model is that today's political policies will not change; this is the currency which gains political acceptability. The two other main assumptions are that the rate of technological adaptation Is also constant without revolutionary advance, and that no waif or trade dislocations will occur. One other pet peeve. One hundred and thirty experts outside the agencies involved were consulted on various

sector topics. Sadly, almost every single one of them was either American or European - too narrow a consulting base for what purports to be an analysis relevant or perhaps accurate for a multicultured globe. After all the criticisms are aired though, this study remains an impressive and useful document One can be plegaantly impressed by the quality of analysis of each sector topic. In the chapter onforestry for example, a subject w h i i this reviewer knows well, the level of analysis seemed 'state of the art'; a better summary of the issues sun-ounding forestry growth and harvest has not been read elsewhere. If that chapter is representative of the quality of analysis of the other sectors examined, this report even given its drawbacks, should be required reading for many.

An MP at the time said that any support for pedophilia was incitement to a crime 'worse than murder'. O'CarroU was jailed because ignorance and consequently fear of paedophilia is almost complete. It Is a 'subject' (never a practice or a feeling) to be spoken of by lawyers, doctors, policeman and, at the moment of a good court case, the Inflamed and damning press. Well,here is a collection of writings by, (or w d about pfedophiles, British and American, edited by Daniel Tsang, who also set up the North American Man Boy Love Association. A mass of information, mixing the personal with the analytical, interviews, confessions, polemics, sex-pol (Gay Left Collective on especially good form), all asking and describing what it means for a 'child' to 'consent'to have "sex' with an 'adult'. The book is a vivid record of the Gay movement as it moves beyond the assertion 'Glad to be Gay' and faces up to the relations between that gayness and all the other factors that makeorutunakeusisexualandsod

Radical Technology is widely recognised as the standarc comprehensive work in the field. But don't take our word for it. As Alvin Toffler, author of best-sellersFuture Shock and The Third Wave put it: "For people who still think i f the future in terms of mega-machinesand all-poworful bureaucracies, Radical Technology will be an eyeipener. It proves what mar uturists, ecologists and ph iophers have been saying: rhere is an alternative. radical Technology offers resh way to think about :omorrow. Nothing could t nore useful."

We already have a considerable amount of stuff and might do a special actionpacked double issue. Especially, because we intend to increase our environmental coverage, in the absence of any other magazines in the area. Going monthly has cost more - and also resulted in a subscription gap of three issues when we don’t get any subscription renewals. So if you’re thinking of subscribing, now’s the time before the rates go up again. We are also introducing a supporting subscription of £10 which our more generous readers might like to take advantage of. And, if you’ve already subscribed, don’t worry, you can still send a donation. _____________________________________________________________________________
