The pollution crisis is highlighted by the case of the poison-packed ship Karin B, which was turned back from British ports yesterday. Each tide brings more victims to the shores where seals used to delight children as they splashed and played. Their bright eyes are dimmed and their shiny coats dull in death. Paul Vodden of Greenpeace forecast,

It was four years ago that mother Juno was introduced to proud father Achilles, in the garden of solicitor's clerk David Cutlack, at Kemsing, Kent. But tortoises are slow, even when it comes to doing the what comes naturally. And it wasn't until July this year that Juno was finally spotted digging a hole and laying three eggs. It is very rare indeed for tortoises to breed in Britain's cold climate. But Mrs. Joy Cutlack put the eggs in a tin of sand in here airing cupboard. She said:
