policies or programs being developed that could slow the rate of
growth.

The political reasons why it has not been possible
either to hold a census in Lebanon since World War II, or to make
available vital statistics by religious or ethnic group, are first
outlined. The author then uses unpublished data collected in 1988 as
part of the Saudi Food Assistance Campaign to estimate "(1) the total
population of Lebanon in mid-1988, (2) the size of the Christian and
Muslim communities, (3) the geographic distribution of the population
by qada, which is the smallest administrative unit, and (4) the number
of non-Lebanese civilians. Also discussed are some implications of the
findings."

Summary data from the 1990 census are used to show the continuance
of major demographic trends in the United States from the 1970s to the
1980s. "The population gain in California, Texas and Florida accounted
for more than half of the national increase in the past decade. The
rapid growth of these states was mainly attributed to the large influx
of persons of Hispanic origin, as well as Asians and Pacific Islanders
to California." Reasons for the decision not to adjust the census
results to account for underenumeration are also
discussed.

Demographic trends in the countries of Eastern Europe since World
War II are reviewed and compared. The author notes a diminishing of
differences among countries and a convergence of demographic trends in
all parts of Europe in the 20 years following the war. However, since
1965, fertility and mortality rates in Eastern Europe have remained
relatively stable, whereas those elsewhere in Europe have declined. In
addition to clear distinctions between Eastern Europe and the rest of
Europe in areas such as family structure, causes of death, and
migration, some differences among the countries of Eastern Europe
itself persist.
