THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES THE RELEVANCE OF THE U.S. SIXTH FLEET IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. IT LOOKS AT THE MISSIONS THIS FLEET HAS FULFILLED SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1946. THE BASIC RATIONALE FOR THE FLEET WAS TO BE PREPARED, IN THE EVENT OF MAJOR WAR WITH THE SOVIET UNION, TO KEEP THE SEA LANES OPEN TO GREECE, TURKEY, AND EVEN ITALY, SO AS TO PROVIDE THEM WITH THE WHEREWITHAL TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. AFTER 1989, HOWEVER, THE PROGRESSIVE DEMISE OF THE SOVIET UNION AND ITS MILITARY POWER IRREVOCABLY CHANGED THE MEDITERRANEAN STRATEGY. THE SOVIETS HAVE WITHDRAWN THEIR FORMIDABLE MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON, AND IT SEEMS DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE EITHER A SOVIET THRUST FROM EASTERN EUROPE INTO TURKISH THRACE, GREECE, OR ITALY, OR A MAJOR CLASH WITH THE SOVIETS AT SEA. HOWEVER, THE RECENT GULF WAR REINFORCES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FLEET. THE NEW U.S. STRATEGY WILL BE A COMBINATION OF SECURING SEA AND AIR LINES OF COMMUNICATION TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND ENSURING THE ABILITY TO USE FORCE TO PROTECT U.S. INTERESTS ALL AROUND THE MEDITERRANEAN BASIN.

Health care systems across the WHO European Region have done and are doing much to tackle the complex and daunting problem of poverty and health. This book describes 12 initiatives already undertaken in 10 WHO Member States. It documents WHO's preliminary findings on how health care systems can help to alleviate poverty, and reaches three main conclusions: health care systems can indeed take effective action to improve the health of the poor; sometimes health care systems can actually represent an additional barrier for the poor and there is an urgent need for more knowledge, training and capa

Explores how changes in an institution's football success affect giving behavior. Also considers whether former varsity athletes are more sensitive in their giving behavior to the competitive success of their school and whether such effects differ by type of institution. Using micro data from 15 academically selective private colleges and universities, presents fixed-effects estimates of how football winning percentages affect giving behavior. General giving rates are unaffected by won-lost records at the high-profile Division IA schools and at the Ivy League schools. Increases in winning percentages yield modest positive increases in giving rates, particularly among former athletes, at the lower-profile Division III liberal arts colleges.
