...grateful for your interest in clean water and in helping to make the public aware of areas of pollution [Aug. 1]. However, as mayor of the city of Erie, I take exception to your inference that all of Lake Erie is a cesspool. We are a tourist area, and Erie's beaches and boating facilities are open, and have been open for many years. Last year more than three and one-half million people visited Erie's Presque Isle State Park. Sixty lifeguards man eleven beaches on the park. These beaches are tested weekly by the state...
...speak of Prince Souvanna Phouma "vacationing in France" [Aug. 1] while the North Vietnamese invasion in Laos is again making headlines. After a trip to London, where he met again with Prime Minister Wilson for his country's sake, and before going to Paris to meet with President Pompidou and some members of the new French government for the same reason, the Prime Minister of Laos spent exactly three weeks on a cure for stomach troubles at one of the quietest and most remote of French spas, Plombieres in the Vosges.

Hopes recently rose when the trustees formally offered the post to Alexander Heard, 52, the able chancellor of Vanderbilt University (TIME, Aug. 1). But last week Heard too bowed out. "At this juncture," he wrote in a letter of regret, "I personally will have a better chance at Vanderbilt to make a useful contribution to higher education...
...progressive shepherds in the U.S. had been abruptly estranged from his flock. The Most Rev. James P. Shannon, who had resigned as auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis earlier this year (TIME, June 6), last week announced that he had married. The wedding took place on Aug. 2, Shannon revealed, in the First Christian Church in Endicott, N.Y., before a Disciples of Christ minister. Shannon's bride, the former Ruth C. Wilkinson, 50, had had three previous husbands. Two of the marriages ended in annulment, the third in divorce - though the partner of that union later...
