THE KEY PROLIFERATION ISSUE FOR AMERICA AND EUROPE IS NOT HOW TO STOP NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND MISSILE PROLIFERATION; PROLIFERATION IS ALL BUT INEVITABLE. THE ISSUE, RATHER, IS HOW TO CRAFT AN APPROPRIATE SECURITY POSTURE THAT WILL PROTECT BOTH CONTINENTS ADEQUATELY AS NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION BECOMES A FACT. THIS ARTICLE ATTEMPTS TO DETERMINE THE CONSEQUENCES OF PROLIFERATION AND THEN HOW TO RESPOND TO IT. IT ARGUES THAT AS INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IMPROVES MANY COUNTRIES WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE DECIDING TO USE THEIR NUCLEAR MIGHT.

New Zealand, by its isolation, evolved a unique fauna in the absence of humans. With essentially no native mammals, it evolved a diverse fauna of flightless birds, while many of its native flighted birds nested on the ground. The Polynesian immigrants and the Maoris began changes to the environment that led to extinction of some species, but in the early 19th Century, European colonists introduced many mammals that have had appalling negative effects on the New Zealand environment. Damage to flora and the environment by European rabbits, hares, possums, deer, chamois, and tahr is described. Government efforts to control the Australian brush-tailed possum began in the 1940s and are described, with emphasis on the use of sodium fluoroacetate (1080).

US MILITARY INVOLVEMENT IN FUTURE OPERATIONS OTHER THAN WAR (OOTW) IS INEVITABLE, WHETHER OR NOT PEACEKEEPING AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE REMAIN FASHIONABLE MISSIONS. THIS ARTICLE EXPLORES THE CHANGING NATURE OF, AND THE DERIVATION OF COMMON CHARACTERISTICS AMONG OOTW. KEY FACTORS INFLUENCING SUCCESS OR FAILURE, AND REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ARE EXAMINED. IT CONCLUDES THAT THE UNIFORMED LEADERSHIP IS NOT WELL PREPARED TO IMPROVISE BEYOND THE SAFE CONFINES OF THE WEINBERGER-POWELL DOCTRINE, AND THE REALM OUTSIDE THESE STRICT GUIDELINES ON THE EMPLOYMENT OF US FORCES REMAINS FROM THEM LARGELY "TERRA INCOGNITA."

Hong Kong has an air quality problem with excess levels of such air pollutants as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates and ozone, occurring from time to time throughout the year. This paper outlines the sources of the major pollutants in Hong Kong, both natural and manmade, and examines the health risks to the Hong Kong population from exposure to such pollutants. The principle man-made sources of these pollutants are mainly diesel vehicle emissions, and high sulphur content fuels burnt in industrial furnaces and power plants. There is concern over levels of these pollutants in ambient air because of their relationship with respiratory health problems, which range from local irritation of the respiratory tract to carcinogenesis. Studies in Hong Kong also demonstrate the importance of environmental tobacco smoke in the home as a cause of children's respiratory health problems, in addition to poor air quality. Epidemiological studies are useful tools for identifying risks and for evaluating the effectiveness of preventive measures, including legislation. In particular we need to identify health risks to young children and the preventable fraction likely to be achieved from different interventions. For optimum effectiveness, a multisectoral approach, developed between regulatory agencies, pubic health authorities and research groups, is needed to contribute to the overall respiratory health of the community. ; published_or_final_version
