ARTICLES:
THE DESTRUCTION OF DOLPHINS . . . The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 was supposed to bring a reduction--"to insignificant levels approaching zero"--in the-number of dolphins trapped and killed in the nets of tuna fishermen. And for a while it looked like it might. But the act has been eroded and compromised, and dolphins are being killed by the hundreds every day. . . . by KENNETH BROWER.

How TO FIGHT THE DRUG WAR . . . Fitful efforts at crop eradication and law enforcement have failed to undermine the cocaine business in Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia. A more effective way to curb supply, the author suggests, would be to strengthen the legal economies of the coca-producing countries.
