Size of Oil Spill May Be No Guide to Its Impact
Returning to the precise conditions that existed before a spill is probably not possible, the report said, because even in normal times, ecosystems ''are dynamic assemblages, forever undergoing change.'' It is never static, and recovery means returning to some sort of stable condition approximating what would have happened naturally.

FOOTLIGHTS
LAWRENCE VAN GELDER
From Calvin Klein, Winning Simplicity
City clothes are in hot colors like chartreuse or black and red plaid. Trousers resemble jodhpurs or riding pants. Jackets are sharply tailored and accompanied by vests and shirts with stock ties. There are many variants on the Norfolk jacket, the details made more feminine. Some styles look proper enough for a fox hunt. What gives the collection special appeal is the prices. With jackets at $250 to $375 and skirts $130 to $180, the clothes represent excellent value.

Brooklyn Libraries Bear Unfair Burden
It has come to my attention that Brooklyn libraries receive $3 less per capita than the New York Public Library and $4 less than the Queens system. The cuts in recent years have hit Brooklyn hardest -- and that is not fair. This inequity must be erased; Brooklyn needs its fair share of tax levies. Why should the students served by the fifth largest library in America have to suffer by a closed library door, whose opening could provide a major key for their future? And ours as well.

Dr. Atala added that 80 researchers in his regenerative medicine institute at Wake Forest were trying to apply the scaffolding techniques to build new hearts, livers, kidneys, pancreases, nerves and other tissues. The ultimate aim, he said, is to reduce the need for donor organs and to avoid the immunologic dangers of rejection that come from transplanting someone else's organs and tissues.
