The article focuses on sociopolitical issues from different parts of the world. Sixteen years after Roe v. Wade, the battle over abortion has come down to a conflict between the Constitution and the Bible, and neither text seems able to impose a solution. But politics, rather than reason or religion, is at the heart of the struggle, and it is only through political action that women's reproductive rights will be confirmed. The main West German intelligence service, the BND, is reported to have known all along that German-made chemical weapons materials were exported to Libya, to have asked the regular domestic investigative agencies to back off the case-and then to have done little or nothing more.
